I have had a prior stay at this loft and that experience made me choose it over other offerings. First, the location could not be anymore central to downtown Asheville and all the attendant amenities including restaurants, Dobra Tea House, shopping, Whole Foods, the art museum, and just urban walking. My stay was designed as a respite from caregiving and time to focus on my research. Although the loft is centrally located, it was always peaceful, an ideal combination. It is a clean and very attraction space for one or two people and I appreciated how it revealed the original industrial materials. Claudia kept in touch periodically to ask if I needed anything and inquired about my work in a very friendly and unobtrusive way. My stay was almost two weeks - two wonderful weeks. By the way, there is a wonderful coffee shop next door.
