My first trip to Asheville was enhanced by staying at Ann's Micro Urban Studio, which was just that. It is the perfect amount of space for a solo traveler, about the size of a single dorm room, except there's a kitchenette complete with dishes and utensils, hot plate, tea kettle, coffee, tea, instant oatmeal and granola bars, and a private bath. And for me, it was the right distance from the hustle and bustle of downtown, about a mile that I walked everyday so I was able to enjoy the scenery, gorgeous weather and the people, who were so nice and friendly. The studio is behind the house so it was private, quiet and peaceful. My flight came in early, so I requested an early check in that Ann graciously accommodated. She is a wonderful host, and I highly recommend staying at her place.
