I had never tried AirBNB before, but my mom encouraged me to check it out. I am so glad that I did for my trip to Asheville. Not only was Meghan's house more convenient to where my conference was, it had everything I needed, like a full size refrigerator and toaster oven, so that I could fix my own meals, rather than eating out every meal. The basement apartment was clean and had much more space to stretch out in than your average hotel room. Meghan was always available by phone if I needed anything. I can't say enough good things about my stay here last week.
