Elisa’s place was just as described. Clean, fine choice. If it’s your first time to Asheville (like us), I would actually recommend staying closer to downtown (this is nothing against Elisa’s place, but just a general recommendation based on our experience). We read a lot about how fun and hip West Asheville was and so opted for Elisa’s place given its proximity to Haywood. It is indeed close. But not as much going on as we had hoped. Couldn’t find the live music the web claimed it had, etc. Downtown was more exciting and where more of the breweries are. With that said, Asheville is small and easy to get around. Elisa’s place is across the street from a great breakfast spot, Biscuit Head. It’s also close to some necessities like grocery stores and gas stations + decent bars and restaurants.
There is no bathroom door, but we were aware of this going in and it didn’t bother us. She provides coffee and cups + small fridge that suited our needs. Also appreciated the provision of basic toiletries like shampoo/conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, and a disposable razor. We weren’t sure about parking when we first arrived and Elisa responded relatively quickly (it’s street parking - info we couldn’t find until we asked, but perhaps that’s obvious to people who aren’t as paranoid as my boyfriend about unlawful parking!).
In sum, the place is accurately described and well located if you are aiming for West Asheville and basic accommodations.
