Julia's apartment was fantastic -- cozy but not cramped, and with a small but very functional kitchen, and a gorgeous view of a pasture right out the window. Julia greeted us when we arrived and was available if we needed, but mostly it felt like we were in our own private little space in the mountains. We were grateful to be able to bring our dog along, too -- she got some good playtime with Julia's very energetic dog Milo, and Julia provided directions to a great hike for us along a nearby river. The location of the apartment was great, too -- just a few minutes to downtown Asheville, and yet very thoroughly in the country. We look forward to visiting again!
