We stayed 3 nights at Julia's place. It proved to be a comfortable and cozy place, with ample storage space, good heat (nights were cold when we were there) and comfortable bed. The view from the apt. was great... a pasture with a cow or two, no houses. Very private. J lia was very accommodating and helpful. It was only 6 miles or so from Asheville, and so easy to get around. We would definitely stay there again, if she would have us.
