This apartment fit our bill EXACTLY. It was cozy and quiet, impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. It's exactly half-way between downtown Asheville, where we ate dinner each night, and our favorite state parks, where we spent each day. The hosts were extremely easy to communicate with and had added unexpected but helpful touches to the space (dishwashing soap, sufficient lighting for reading in bed, room-darkening window shades, extra towels, etc). This lovely space allowed us to really relax.
