We stayed at Linda's home for a weekend in Asheville and absolutely loved it! Although we had just booked a private room, we were welcome to use the living room, kitchen and other common areas as we pleased. The drive to downtown was only 5-10 minutes and yet we had a beautiful view of the mountains from the front porch. Dave, our host, was friendly and welcoming, giving plenty of recommendations for local eateries. Linda was very prompt in her communication and kept in touch the entire time. I definitely recommend her home to those looking for a memorable trip to Asheville
