We absolutely loved our stay at Ian's place. This brand new apartment/addition is the perfect getaway if you're looking to stay in Asheville.
The apartment itself was very well designed and decorated, and the layout and lighting make it feel much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The kitchen has pretty much everything you'd need for a short stay, complete with coffee and a selection of teas. The rainfall shower in the bathroom is amazing, and we loved the big fluffy towels. The TV with built in ChromeCast in the living area was nice for relaxing with some Netflix after a long day of hiking. The bedroom was huge and open, surrounded by windows to let in all the light and mountain air you could want. The bed was plush and we slept well.
And, you can simply not beat this location. It's perfectly situated close to the river and near downtown. We walked everywhere - restaurants, bars, breweries - and didn't have to Uber once. Every place we went to was within a mile.
Ian himself was a great host. He was always quick to reply and had some great suggestions on where to eat. The Bull and the Beggar, and All Souls Pizza: Go there.
We will definitely be staying here again next time we're in Asheville!
