We are frequent visitors to Asheville and like to stay close to the downtown area to minimize our driving. Mellissa’s Loft is located just as described “In the Heart of Downtown”. We parked on arrival and didn’t move the car till we departed. The loft is wide open and well furnished. Mellissa has thought of everything, including items you may have forgotten and need. The feel of the place is very urban jazz. We loved all the windows; so did the dogs. Ashville is a great walking city with many things to do and places to see. We loved the fact that a great many places are pet friendly so we could bring the dogs out with us. Melissa is a great host and checked on us via email to assure we did not go without any comfort. As travelers with pets; who are part of the family, we take them with us all the time and we appreciate finding high-quality rentals like this that allow pets. We are always respectful of this curtesy and hope that future renters are as well so all “family” members can enjoy this great Loft. We plan on returning to Asheville soon and would definitely love to stay here again.
