Elisa's Urban Abode is a great little space in West Asheville. My husband and I loved the funky, eclectic decor. The Urban Abode met all of our basic needs - a comfortable place to unwind after long days hiking in Pisgah National Forest and a home base in Asheville close enough to the capture the charm of the city. We spent one of our nights just hanging out in the living room and took advantage of Elisa's large collection of DVDs. We loved walking to nearby restaurants -- Biscuit Head (visited twice!), Dobra Tea, and The Hop West just to name a few. Elisa's place is near lots of major roads that can quickly take you out into the mountains or closer to downtown Asheville.
Elisa and her family were away for most of the weekend during our stay, but please note you'll be staying in the renovated basement and you might hear footsteps and remnants of conversations. It didn't bother us!
We had a great time overall.
