If you're staying in Asheville with children in tow, I can't think of a better place to stay than this. Even if you don't have children, it's an excellent place to spend a couple of nights exploring one of the most interesting and enjoyable cities east of the Mississippi. Michele is a fantastic host: she greeted us on a arrival (the apartment is at the rear of our house) but gave us plenty of space to do our own thing; we were greeted by fresh flowers, two complementary local beers in the fridge and some local crackers and hummus. The place is a paradise for kids, from the treehouse and zipline in the ridiculously charming back yard to the DVD selection and games and toys in back room (which features a sturdy bunk bed that our kids loved). To top it all off Montford Park is a beautiful neighborhood, and close enough to Downtown Asheville to walk, but far enough from the action that you feel more like a local than a tourist. We would book again without hesitation!
