The West Nest offers an incredible location for those wishing to explore the delights of West Asheville, and with a little bit of a walk, the River Arts District. Located right on Haywood in the 300 block, the property offers private space atop a garage, with its own private deck and easy entry through a key pad system. Know that this is an urban location! And that's fantastic if you are a city person!! There's a lumber yard adjacent to the property but honestly its really not a big deal.
The space itself is a perfectly appointed studio with a lovely king bed, gracious loveseat, comfy chair, and is really quite delightfully decorated. There's a restful grace to the Nest, and you can feel like you've truly arrived 'home' when you sit outside enjoying the afternoon sun. A lovely bottle of wine was left for us at check-in. There's private free parking, and the apartment is up a flight of stairs.
Bruce and Mike were fantastic hosts. Response time on any issue, before, during or after our stay, was accomplished within an hour. We received an extensive list of restaurants, both in West Asheville and Downtown, to explore. We walked downtown (about 45 minutes), because we are like that...
And the food! The Nest lies in close proximity to some amazing options even in this remarkable culinary city. Terrific coffee across the street (Battle Cat), 300 feet from award-winning cuisine at The Admiral, Pizza Mind or MILK for more casual fare, and I can't end this review without mentioning OWL Bakery and Hole Doughnuts - both an easy walk and well worth seeking out.
In all, this is a fabulous location for all that West Asheville has to offer.
