My friends and I loved staying The Hummingbird in the Montford Historic District. The neighborhood is beautiful with lots of interesting architecture. It was fun hanging out on the front porch watching friendly neighbors walk by. The location is amazing, just two blocks from downtown; we walked to restaurants, breweries and shops. Our favorites were The Funkatorium, Talopa Honey Cafe, Twin Leaf Brewery, and Wicked Weed Brewery in downtown. We also loved All Day Darlin, a great breakfast spot, in Montford. High Wire Brewery in the River Arts District had a fun Mardi Gras event and a dog costume contest, in which my friend's dog won first place! It was so much fun to browse the art studios in RAD. You get it, Asheville is fun and The Hummingbird is a perfect 'home base' for all your adventures.
