My 7yo daughter and I stayed at Sol Retreat for 3 nights. While the accommodation itself was very lovely, clean and comfortable, Nicole and her family are very welcoming, generous and attentive. We are so glad that we stayed at Sol Retreat!
I love to travel as if I live there, and that's one of the reasons why I like using Airbnb. Staying at Nicole's exceeded my expectation by far. Nicole and her family were so warm and friendly that we felt like we were visiting our old friends. My daughter also had great time with their kids.
During our stay at Sol Retreat, we relied on Uber/Lyft to get to places and it wasn't too inconvenient. Haywood Road was 3 min walk from the retreat and there were many cafes, taprooms, restaurants and grocery stores.
There were so many good places to eat in Asheville. We ate at Universal Joint, Nine Mile and Itto Ramen all in the neighborhood and were pretty happy with their food (and I am quite a foodie from San Francisco).
Downtown Asheville was super cute. While some activities we wanted to do were not available due to lack of staff, like the kid friendly city tour by La Zoom, we still enjoyed just walking around. There were many art galleries as well as shops selling crystals, and my daughter was very excited.
We also visited a nature center where you can see various local animals.
We had a really great time and would stay at Sol Retreat again!
