Brenda gets 5 stars across the board. I grew up in south asheville and was home visiting for the holidays. Although there are a lot of options for places to rent in Asheville, there's not a lot to choose from in south Asheville. We really lucked out with Brenda. I have a toddler, and aside from leaving a toy Rudolph the Rednose reindeer as a present for him, she practically baby proofed the house for us. She left us all other kinda goodies as well! Breakfast snacks, different kinds of coffee, wine, carmels, all kinds of fancy soaps and shampoos, etc. And that's not even the best part. I had to change my travel plans cutting my trip a day short, and being the forgetful person that I tend to be I forgot to change my plans on airbnb's site. After my third night in the house I realized what i had done, or forgot to do for that matter, and emailed Brenda asking for a refund. Although the policy to change reservations was 48 hours prior to check in, Brenda didn't hesitate and refunded me the full amount. Brenda rocks, I will definitely stay there again in the future.
