Our first time in Asheville, I chose Urban Abode mostly based on it's walking proximity to the hip strip of Haywood and the South Slope and Biltmore. The house was easy to find, and Elisa was even out shoveling a path through the snow for us, and was kind enough to allow us to check in early after a misread on my part. She was EXTREMELY responsive and easy to contact, and our stay was very private and unbothered, though I felt comfortable reaching out for anything we may need. Entering Urban Abode was like a dream, SO clean, smartly designed, hip colors, and quirky fixtures. There were an assortment of nuts and a cracker left for us to enjoy, and fresh towels and made bed. The basement level is made to seem like a private sub-loft, smart enough for any traveller, casual like ourselves or catering to more high-end guests. Elisa made a lovely suggestion where as to see live shows and we had an amazing night walking around after visiting the Isis Theatre for an intimate dinner and live music. The home is located literally a stones throw away from the main strip, on the corner, a minutes walk from music and breweries and restaurants. Seven minute drive to the Brew District, South Slope of Asheville. Would definitely stay with Elisa at Urban Abode for location, smart design, and proximity, hosted by a lovely woman. Thanks for making our first stay in Asheville one for the books!
