Although people tend to stay in the heart of a city, Julie's home in the Montford area of Asheville is exceptional. After enjoying days exploring the city, hiking and going to the Biltmore, we delighted in coming back and sitting on the relaxing porch or exploring the streets with over 600 historic homes to look at. Her home is clean, comfortably furnished, and quiet with everything you could possibly need. Asheville is less than a mile away (easy walking) with Whole Foods and Trader Joe's only a few blocks from the house. Nine Mile Restaurant, right down the block, is fantastic and the city bus (which only costs $1) has a stop at the end of the street. Besides two large bedrooms, the sitting room is nice for eating, watching TV or reading. Great value!!!!
