Note: I'm reviewing from the perspective of a longer-term stay (about 28 days).
TL;DR: Highly recommend. Great hosts, space, and location. Absolutely loved this place.
~~~ The Home ~~~
On paper this studio isn't huge, but I found that it was the perfect amount of space for me. Easy to maintain, but with enough seating, lounging, cooking, and even exercise areas. It was also very well decorated, featuring bits of local art. Very stylish but down to earth.
The home is also filled with windows with highly adjustable shades. This allowed for privacy while still letting in a ton of natural light. In fact, I stopped having to use an alarm to wake up, I simply relied on the sun to wake me up. Loved it!
As someone staying here for a few weeks, my main concerns coming in were internet speed and cooking setup. Both were to my satisfaction!
~~~ The Kitchen ~~~
The kitchen had all of the utensils I needed to make some advanced-but-not-that-fancy meals, like dirty rice and beef rendang. I also left my kosher salt there, so I hope you get the chance to use it. It's Morton's. It'll make whatever you cook taste better.
Check out the pictures (they were very accurate) to see what equipment they have. The two-burner stove was only a limitation once, and I got around it
The only major drawback (which is common in these types of setups) is that there's no garbage disposal, and no dishwasher. The former is as a result of building code regulations, which disallow such conveniences in guest houses. Unfortunate, but again, I got around it. Don't let this dissuade you from staying here!
~~~ Laundry ~~~
There's a nice little laundromat down the street (you could walk if you wanted) that I used. It was clean and affordable. No problems.
~~~ Internet Connection/Speeds ~~~
I'm on a lot of Zoom calls, and I never had major issues. I also know that the hosts are considering upgrading to a fiber connection, which they may eventually mention in the description of this listing.
~~~ Location ~~~
This is set in a beautiful neighborhood. I loved walking around and admiring the local art on houses, listening to the birds, and enjoying the excellent weather.
It was also about 8-10 minutes from the more populated parts of Asheville. I enjoyed being in a more rural/quiet environment, while still being a quick trip away from the city.
I spent a lot of my time here hiking and traveling around the local area. If you're willing to drive, I'd recommend spending time in the Great Smoky Mountains. There are also some great state parks to check out that are closer.
Asheville is a fun city with plenty to do.
~~~ The Hosts ~~~
Sarah and Allison were a delight. They were super accommodating and welcoming. It was clear they wanted me to enjoy my stay, and I did!

This place is excellent and I plan on staying here again in the future. Book it!
