We didn't know much about Asheville but soon discovered Sharon's place was very convenient to many stores, restaurants, breweries and more breweries. Not quite "walking distance" but very short drive - would have been easy bike ride. Easy drive to get on Blue Ridge Parkway, too. Room is very clean - bathroom small but fine. Room is a bit small but lots of windows and private front porch is awesome- like having another room. We'd go back, and hope to soon.
