Cindy's apartment was exactly as described. It was very clean and filled with nice details that make it cozy and comfortable. The location is convenient to Asheville, the blue ridge parkway, and hiking but also secluded enough to feel "away from it all". Her apartment is also pet friendly, which is a plus if you have a furry friends. That being said, there is NO pet smell or stray hairs lying around. Cindy is very hospitable and, as many other reviews mention, her banana bread is delicious! You will not be disappointed staying here.
