Absolutely wonderful! My very quick stay in Asheville was truly perfect, due in large part to David's helpful tips and suggestions, not to mention his overall responsive communication, the convenience of check in and the extremely convenient location itself! I was road tripping up the east coast to quarantine to meet my sister's soon to be born baby, so extra cleanliness and safety precautions were extremely important to me. I decided to stop in Asheville for mountains and fresh air and I'm so glad I did, and I really couldn't have lucked out more in finding David's place. The apartment is separated from the main house and a key code upon arrival, so there is no need for direct interaction (sadly something we need to consider these days). Generally it's very private and it was spic and span sparkly clean upon arrival, not to mention quiet and comfortable. Since I only had one day to explore Asheville, I had asked him in advance for a convenient hiking trail suggestion if he had any and he not only replied in detail, he also brought down a guidebook, a couple maps, and a beautiful book on Biltmore (my afternoon excursion). He also recommended a couple great vegan/ veggie restaurants in the area upon inquiry (Plant is around the corner). His place is half a block from Trader Joe's and around the corner from Whole Foods which was also beyond convenient. The place itself was spacious and well appointed - the kitchenette was very well supplied and the shower room was a pretty nice bonus! It's walking distance to a couple coffee shops (there's also a coffee maker) - on my full day I got a pretty good dirty chai from High Five Coffee (90 second drive lol) on my way to the hike, perfect for the 70ish degree cloudy summer morning (chilly by my Miami Beach standards!). At David's suggestion I drove out to the Blue Ridge Parkway to Sam's Knob/ Black Balsam Knob Rd. The drive itself is gorgeous; not knowing the area I initially balked a bit at the 45 or so minute drive since I was on a tight timeline, but honestly just the drive alone is worth it with many viewpoints to pull over, and the hike itself wasn't long. Those two are apparently the highest peaks in the area so you get 360 degree views and I'd say the hikes are doable for most if you pace yourself. I brought a light breakfast and relaxed a bit after wandering around the peaks... all in all my round trip was under 1.5 hours and I did not feel rushed one bit. I drove back, showered, ordered a quick grab and go from Well Bred in the quaint Biltmore Village, stopped in the Olde World Christmas Shop (Christmas in July why not!) and headed over to the estate for my 2:15 ticket. Biltmore is well worth it – the house is beautiful and the gardens and grounds even more impressive. The complimentary wine tasting was great as well ;) Also Biltmore has done a really great job with covid restrictions – timed entries to keep crowds to a minimum and mandatory face masks (they provide if you need). I missed the Downton Abbey exhibited (missed the last entry) but the winery is also a cool little experience. I then went to Downtown Asheville and had dinner outside at Rosetta's. All in all my visit to Asheville was awesome and if/ when I go back I'd stay at David's again no question! Exactly what I wanted and beyond what I hoped for :)
