I had an exceptional stay at Richie's beautiful, peaceful home. The apartment was stunningly designed, with everything one would need for a brief stay, and impeccably clean as well. I was grateful for the warm welcome from my host, and his immediate response to a late-night query. In general, the unit felt very distinct and private, and I was grateful for the quality of quietude after a busy day. The apartment is within walking distance of some excellent restaurants, is nestled in a great community of artistic homes, and has a slight view of the mountains at sunset. As someone who was both attending a conference in town and trying to hike the Blue Ridge mountains before dusk, the rental provided easy access to both in-town and outdoors activities.
