We loved this little apartment. Julia was a great host - she made sure we had everything we needed, but she also respected our privacy and gave us plenty of personal space. When we first arrived, she introduced us to her cute baby goats and her adorable yellow lab, Milo (who did a great job making us feel very loved and welcomed). The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away in the country - but it's only 10 minutes from downtown, 5 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive to grocery stores, coffee shops, gas stations, etc. (I highly recommend visiting Filo - the coffee shop down the road. They make a fantastic hazelnut latte.) The apartment was cozy and well-laid out so we felt a separation of the different spaces. It was the perfect place to recharge after long days of hiking and long evenings exploring downtown. We will definitely stay here again...and happily recommend it to anyone visiting Asheville.
