Alicia’s eco cottage was perfect! We had stayed in Airbnbs downtown and in West Asheville and thought it would be fun to nestle in to River Arts District this time— this proved to be a great idea, not just because we loved Alicia’s home and being just a short and pleasant walk from our favorite spots in River Arts, but also because we realized that the area connects everything, sitting about midway between downtown and the heart of West Asheville too. After multiple trips, I finally understand this city’s geography, and I think it can’t get more central than this spot! The cottage itself was so clean that, if there hadn’t already been so many other reviews, I would’ve thought we were the first people to ever stay there, and yet it was still quirky and inviting, with beautiful and eclectic details throughout the house, for example all the art postcards, the books and unusual trinkets on the shelf, the wooden beams, the warm lamps and records! It is clearly a dedicated Airbnb (one in which the host has thought of everything you could possibly need), but still has lots of heart and charm and sense of place. Can’t wait to return, with friends next time! Thank you, Alicia!
