Paula is a phenomenal host. Very friendly and provided us with loads of idea about what to do and where to go around Asheville. And to top it off, she's provided a take one-leave one fridge stocked with local beer in the common area upstairs!
The room was nice and is located on the front of the house. The bathroom for the room is across and slightly down the hallway. There are two guest rooms on the second floor and I believe that the other room has a private ensuite bathroom. We had no issues or complications as a result of the bathroom being across the hall. This was a major worry point for my wife before we arrived! The location is also pretty good. With a few exceptions noted below, we found Paula's place to be in a very convenient location and was just about an 8 minutes walk to downtown Asheville.
Our only complaint was the noise coming from pedestrians on the street in front of the house. Since this room is on the front of the house, we can hear everything and everyone going by the house during the night. This may include scooters that need new mufflers, trucks that need new mufflers, inebriated people heading up and down the street, and/or people shouting off balconies of the 12 storey public housing structure across the street and about 5 doors down. Paula, of course, was kind enough and had the foresight to provide a white noise maker, I suspect because the noise is a known issue. Thankfully we found that noise maker after our first night and our sleep was much better the rest of the stay. So ultimately, the only downside is that the noise level on the street prevents one from sleeping with the windows open.
