I booked Linda's place for my parents. It was a last minute scramble to find something and I was so fortunate that Linda had had a last minute cancelation. My parents have not used Airbnb before, and were a little apprehensive about not staying in a traditional hotel. However, when they arrived, they were so pleasantly surprised by the experience that I think they are total converts now. Linda was hospitable and welcoming during check in, but gave them the privacy they prefer during the rest of their stay. The room was well appointed, and the private bath was a special treat. My mother was especially impressed with the landscaping of the properties. She couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the flowers were. It was an easy drive to West Asheville where my sister and brother-in-law live, but far enough away to feel like a holiday retreat. I would absolutely recommend Linda's place to anyone looking to stay in Asheville or any of the surrounding NC mountain towns.
