I had a great time staying here. The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. They also provided copious amounts of information on places to eat, drink and take in some music. They specifically suggested going to the Omni Grove Park Inn to see the gingerbread house competition. That place was impressive and worth the trip alone.
Also, if you want to see Biltmore, make sure to get your tickets ahead of time. At 8000 acres, it is the size of a state park. About 10,000 people visit per day and sellouts are common. Next time I visit, I'll put it at the top of my list!
