Malinda's house is truly lovely! Very close to downtown. She has everything you could possibly need in her kitchen and it was extremely clean when we checked in. She even accommodated us with an earlier check in! The fire pit outback was great and even had extra chairs (not in pictures online) so everyone could sit out back and enjoy the beautiful backyard. The only surprise was how close the house is to the street. During the day we didn't notice the noise at all, but at night 2 of the bedrooms could hear cars driving by quite a bit. A little white noise playing at night solved the problem for us - just something to keep in mind if you stay here and are a light sleeper! I would still highly recommend Malinda's home and would definitely still stay here again the next time I'm in Asheville with a large group.
