We had an amazing stay at Krista and Andy's downtown artist loft! Though we did not actually meet the hosts in person, their communication was spot on, as were the recommendations. The place was was welcoming, in a very desirable location in the heart of downtown Asheville, and the free parking pass was definitely key. The positive energy and tasteful design elements of the place have you immediately feeling at home and a part of Asheville; I laid on the couch a couple times between exploratory walks and kept falling in love with the loft's ceiling (who says that?!). We also had AMAZING food at Rhubarb, Local Taco, and Tupelo Honey Cafe--all within a few blocks of the loft. We took the pub cycle tour, too, which you can see passing through the street corridor every now and again. Being in a city, you definitely have to anticipate some city noises, but the AC and pocket doors of the bedroom had us sleeping quite well. We actually wished we'd spent more time in Asheville on this road trip! While I love staying at a new place each time, this is--hands down--the winner for an Asheville experience. Thanks, Andy and Krista, for sharing your remarkable space and energy!
