Brendan's place is awesome. Very clean, lots of natural light, great interior design, very restful and enjoyable. Some of the distinctive of this place: even though you're only 7 minutes from downtown you feel like you're in a secluded spot in the middle of farm country. The way the house is positioned in the neighborhood you aren't close to any other homes and the views out the windows are all nature - fields, forest, etc. It was very private and relaxing and quiet. Everything from an interior design standpoint was very well thought out and very functional. We would definitely stay there again if we have the chance to visit Asheville again.
