Perfect place to for a Fall trip!
Perfect, that's the best word I can use to describe my stay!
I am a single, working remotely, adventurous hiking enthusiast who was looking for a place to stay for 5-6 weeks in/around Asheville to "watch the leaves change color."
I am SO HAPPY I found this stay early in the year! Tip #1 BOOK EARLY! lol It fills up quick especially if you are staying for an extended time. .
Location: GREAT location in West Asheville. Truly, it's only 1 mile or less and you're in Downtown Asheville and less than a mile you're in West Asheville. The best of both worlds. Walking, yes, you can absolutely walk to just about anywhere but caution, when you return...you will be walking uphill. ;) This wasn't an issue for me as I LOVED the walk...and...I'm a hiker so no issues for me. I appreciated the hills, and you can walk in either direction and "make a loop" down to the French Broad River Greenway West that comes out to ~2.75 mi. I loved that. Easy and quick to West Asheville, River Arts District, and Downtown Asheville. PERFECT. Of course, hiking was nearby :)
Space: Again, PERFECT! The space is perfect for a single person. The bed was soooo comfortable, my back didn't hurt once. There was a space for my work laptop and my nice big monitor in the bedroom. The kitchenette had everything you'd need for an extended stay. I even cooked several meals. Everything is very modern and up-to-date. Be prepared for the stairs! Again, I'm a hiker so the stairs to access the apartment were steep and many but that didn't bother me. GREAT private spacious deck that I thoroughly enjoyed! Being able to sit outside in the morning and enjoy my coffee while watching the sunset was THE BEST. Since I work remotely, the wifi was exceptional and always available.
The View: SPECTACULAR! Upon my arrival the leaves had already started changing colors. You're "up in the trees" sort of on a steep hill. The mountains in the distance were amazing! This was a must for me to be able to see the mountains every day while I was in NC. As the leaves fall you get a truly clear view of the French Broad River and the Greenway.
The hosts: I cannot thank Annie and Craig enough for providing this space! Annie and Craig were very accommodating and made sure my stay was exactly what I needed! They checked in on me periodically and were always available and quick to respond to communication when needed. They were quiet "neighbors", and I genuinely enjoyed them both!
