This is a small place, about half the size of my bedroom at home. From my own experience, I can attest to the fact that this studio doesn't accommodate travelers who are staying more than a few days or that don't travel light. I stayed six nights, and I brought a big suitcase and several bags, which was too much, but I made it work. I planned on doing several hikes and then going out at night, so I changed clothes and shoes a lot, plus I brought snacks and food for hiking. In addition to it being a small space, you have to park on the street and walk down a small hill along the left side of the house, and then up a small flight of stairs in the backyard to get to the studio. So just unloading and loading my car took was a little cumbersome. But no biggie if you're traveling light.

It's private, though you can still hear people talking and other sounds through the wall. It was not a big deal for me, as it wasn't loud by any means, and though I'm usually a terrible sleeper, I was tired at night and had no trouble falling asleep.

That being said, the studio was a great home base for all the coming and going I did while I was in Asheville. It's cozy and safe and a great location, as it's a short 20 min walk to downtown and only a short drive to just about anywhere you would want to go. Sometimes I walked. Sometimes I drove my car. Sometimes I Uber-ed if I walked and then didn't feel like walking back or if it was too late at night.

Anne was very welcoming, friendly, helpful, and responsive to my questions/texts. I had a couple of needs that she happily took care of, no problem. The cooktop I didn't use, but it was nice to have in case I wanted tea or oatmeal.

I didn't need much in the way of amenities, just maybe a bit more space in order to be comfortable for the length of time I stayed and what I brought with me, but that's on me, so I still give it five stars. :)
