Amanda’s loft is perfect for those interested in experiencing the vitality of downtown Asheville. The loft is located close to a large number of dining and shopping locations, and while this area, understandably, is heavily trafficked (particularly on the weekends) by both cars and pedestrians, the loft does not face the street, with the consequence that the street noise does not filter into the living space. The space itself is exquisite: a large lounging area, a well-appointed and quite modern kitchen, and a comfortable bed. Amanda has decorated the space in an understated but tasteful manner, with every choice apparently driven by a desire to blend comfort with a subtle urban style. We looked forward after a day of walking the downtown, hiking in the quite accessible Blue Ridge Mountains, or touring the wine trails about 45 minutes away to returning to this sybaritic sanctuary.
We will definitely try to reserve the loft again for our next visit to Asheville. The communication with both Amanda and her housekeeper, Katie, was outstanding: timely, informative, and invariably helpful. The assistance Amanda and Katie provided us meant that we never felt confused or disoriented, with the result that we were able to start enjoying Asheville the moment we arrived in the city.
In sum, Amanda’s loft is ideal for a couple that is looking for a place to rest and reminisce after days spent experiencing Asheville’s many earthly delights.
