What a gem! Maggie’s place was a perfect, pet friendly location for us to explore downtown Asheville. It’s an easy 1 mile walk to downtown restaurants, breweries, shops, etc. The description of the space is accurate, a completely private studio space in the basement of their home. It was much bigger than I expected, and so well decorated.
A few things to note that didn’t bother us, but may be good for others to know before booking:
- There is some minimal noise (footsteps, kids dropping toys, etc) from above as this space is below their living space. We mostly noticed this mostly in the mornings. Nothing near loud enough to wake us up, but noticeable.
- The door to the space is down about 10 stairs that are wood framed + gravel. There’s a handrail and it’s well lit (thanks to some very well done cafe lights), but would not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
- There is no closet or real luggage storage. There’s is an open clothing rack with hangers right in the entrance way.
- The only sink is in the bathroom. There’s not a full kitchen, as the space is not for that, so that leaves rinsing out mugs in the bathroom.
Unexpected Bonuses:
- Cute private patio with a few chairs that would be perfect for morning coffee. We’ll have to come back a better time of the year to fully enjoy!
- well stocked ‘kitchen’ area: coffee maker, French press, kettle, coffee beans, coffee grinder, teas, mugs, etc
- Record player and selection of records.
- Super comfy bed.
- adorable historic neighborhood. We took many walks with our pup to admire the funky houses.
- washer & dryer
- Larger than expected bathroom.
We will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!
