Hilary and family have a wonderful little studio/tiny apartment attached to their absurdly convenient home. It's quite close (20-30 min walk) to downtown Asheville and not far from UNC while being in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy to park here and walk to anywhere you want to reach in the immediate city, while being easy to get on the highway for farther excursions if you wanted.
The rolling loft ladder has nice wide steps, though if you're not used to that, be aware it's a little different & steeper than your usual stairway. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom looked nearly new. The apartment's construction in general seemed recent and in great shape. Even during 80ºF days, having the windows open and the ceiling fan going cooled the space enough that we didn't have to use the AC. A few cozy chairs, some benches and a dining table round out the living room setup.
There's a mini fridge and kitchen sink, a coffeepot and some dinnerware if you wanted to keep some food on hand, but we ended up eating out the whole time rather than trying to make anything at the studio.
