Sara’s property is spacious and light filled on a quiet block. Nearby is one of Asheville’s culinary institutions: the Owl Bakery and Cafe, which has some of the finest croissants this side of the Atlantic. Nearby on Haywood Road is a brew pub, a piazza parlour, Billie’s Tacos (ask for the REALLY hot sauce reserved for locals), a used bookstore, and more. All of this is to say that the property is in an area sometimes called East/West, actually in West Asheville, which, with the W1 bus will take you to the River Arts District and downtown Asheville in less than 13 minutes. Driving takes half that time. Sara’s property was perfect for our family mini reunion: young parents and a toddler upstairs in the master bedroom suite; I stayed in the bedroom with an full bath downstairs. The ‘hot tub’ spa was a delight in the recently freezing rain the other evening. The kitchen was one of the best stocked with culinary needs for an Airbnb. There was even a turntable and some 78 lps to try.
