My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights, and Athena's loft was very homey and comfortable for both of us. The neighborhood was very quiet, which was perfect for our little getaway.

Pros: The place was bigger than I expected, the living room/kitchen area was very roomy. The kitchen was well-equipped, with a fridge, a stove, and even a coffee maker! The futon, which I slept on, was actually surprisingly comfortable. There are a number of great cafes nearby for a leisure breakfast/brunch, and downtown Asheville was only a 5-minute drive away. My friend and I also visited the Smoky Mountains, and it was also an easy 45 minute drive away.

Cons: The bathroom was on the small side, which may pose as a problem for taller people. My friend mentioned that the AC, which was located in the bedroom, was relatively loud. We had to keep the AC running or the living room would be too stuffy.

All in all, Beth was very helpful and responded quickly when we had questions, I would definitely recommend this place for people who are looking for a home away from home in Asheville!
