What can I say? If you're looking for a peaceful, serene, and relaxing escape from the big city to court a smaller, more tranquil city, you find that at Alicia's charming place in Montford. This newer renovation is one of two units connected to the main house, and has a completely separate and private keypad entry, overlooking the partly wooded backyard.
The unit has essentials for a short or longer term stay. I didn't plan on cooking, so having the microwave, fridge and kettle were perfect to ensure I explored the neighborhood and downtown restaurants for perfect leftover reheating. Getting to downtown in a little over a mile was great to explore Baxter Square, the historic Grove Arcade building and even some close cafés by foot was great. And her nighbors are super friendly! If you bring a car, it's close to the highway and Blue Ridge Pkwy for those trailheads - Alicia even had a written guide book with recommendations.
I definitely recommend Alicia's place in Asheville!
