Visited Asheville this past weekend with a friend to check out the nearby mountain bike trails during the day and some outdoor, socially distanced music in the evenings. We could not have picked a more ideal place to stay. The bottom line: Unbeatable location. Short walk to everything in downtown Asheville. Fun, upbeat and extremely comfortable living space. Super clean.
Some details: I doubt that there are too many other options for places to stay in Asheville that can match the combination of proximity to downtown and quietness that this place offers. Step outside your door, turn a corner or two and suddenly you’re in the midst of Asheville’s downtown scene. But when you return, exhausted after a satisfying day of mountain air and local brews, the comfortable bedrooms are super peaceful – you could totally forget that you’re right in the middle of it all.
The space is pretty unique: really high ceilings, lots of natural light via plenty of windows and skylights, and kind of an unpretentious, eclectic design vibe that somehow matches the spirit of Asheville and puts you in a good mood. The unit is part of a brick building that clearly has a lot of history to it (wish I knew more about it – bet it’s interesting). Unlike a cookie-cutter hotel room or some shiny modern condo that you can find in every downtown, staying here makes you feel like you’re part of the city – an honorary local with a spacious, funky apartment a few blocks from everything.
Lennox is a great host with a lot of knowledge about things to do/places to go in Asheville and the surrounding area. He seemed sincerely interested in ensuring that we had all the information we needed to have a great time. (Can’t get enough of his Trinidadian accent!)
