If you want a brand new hotel-like experience, this is not the apartment for you. Yet, if you are drawn to antiques, local art, natural fibers, and an eclectic, bohemian feel, this little hideaway might be a perfect fit. From a small second-floor private deck, the apartment opens into a living room full of windows, local arts and crafts, hardwood floors, and an artfully curated mixture of furniture including a carved wooden chair from Bali, a vintage Hollywood director's spotlight lamp, and a yellow antique coffee table that doubles as a chest. There's a fold-out sofa for an extra guest. (A feather mattress-topper that can be found in the bedroom closet will make it comfier.)

The bathroom is clean and bright, yet well-loved with its original 1927 ceramic tile floor and ceramic tub. There is a heater in the bathroom for those winter days where you want the whole bathroom to be warm when you get out of your bath.

A little hall filled with cabinets and art leads you to an eat-in breakfast nook (no oven because of City restrictions, yet there is a large toaster oven and 2 burner induction electric range). The bedroom has two closets, and a comfy Queen captain's bed with large drawers for clothes, and a memory foam mattress topper.

Entrance to the apartment is behind the house, up a flight of external stairs (steep, so this is not a good fit for people who have a hard time with stairs) to a deck overlooking a yard with a shared fire pit, flower and vegetable gardens. Close by are UNCA wooded trails leading to Botanical Gardens.

The apartment is about a mile from the outskirts of downtown, and convenient to everything including shops, breweries, ice cream, galleries, boutiques, restaurants, museums, grocery stores, natural foods stores, etc. A short walk from the apartment is a wonderful bakery/market/restaurant where you can get sumptuous food, coffee, and all kinds of culinary treats.

Off-street parking for one car, ( some people find the driveway to the parking to be a bit tricky; you may need to back out when leaving, or feel free to park on the street in front of the house. Usually there are plenty of spaces there as well.) Washer/Dryer in the unfinished basement with separate entrance shared with guests in the second apartment.

The apartment is fully furnished with tasteful furnishing and some local art, eat-in kitchenette. We offer TV with cable in this apartment on a large flat-screen TV in the living room with hundreds of channels. Feel free to (responsibly) enjoy the fire pit in the backyard. Neat, typical Asheville neighborhood with some historic houses, some new constructions, modern, some families, some students, some professionals. Very safe; we have never had any crime here to our knowledge. Our wonderful resident managers have been there for years and they are lovely, conscientious people whom we completely trust.

If you bring a pet, please pre-approve the pet before you book. If your pet is completely flea-free, housebroken, and non-destructive, we would be happy to consider him/her. There is a $20 per night, per pet fee which we cap at $100 for guests who stay beyond five days. We will only consider extraordinarily well-behaved pets. You will need to bring your pet with you when you leave the apartment, or if it needs to be known to be quiet when you are gone. If you have a pet, please put the provided sofa cover over the sofa to protect it from dirty paws and teething jaws.

Walls are thick plaster, so not a whole lot of sound carries, yet you may hear some sounds of others and footsteps, or smell cooking, etc. from the two other apartments. Just below the apartment is another guest apartment, so we ask that you please take off shoes when convenient. We live close by in the historic district Monford and are available if any issues arise. Also, our resident managers in the main part of the house can help you if need be. There are plenty of heaters, and air conditioner window units in warmer months.

We welcome constructive feedback so that we can make any improvements that will make our guests' stays any more enjoyable. We very much prefer this feedback directly, so that we can better understand and remedy any issue that may come up without unnecessarily alienating others who might benefit from staying. We try to be fully transparent about the apartment so that you can best make your booking decisions, well-informed. Most people who have stayed really love the apartment, yet there have been a few who might have been better off in a modern hotel.

We do the best we can to make the apartment a space that brings visitors comfort and joy. If there is something in the apartment that is not to your liking, feel free to let us know. If you happen to break or damage something while you are staying, please let us know immediately as opposed to pretending it didn't happen. We are reasonable people and know that things happen, but it's very helpful to know if and when they happen.

Keep in mind that this is not the Four Seasons Hotel. Though many people love it for all kinds of reasons, it is quirky and loved, and imperfect. But it's also a lot of fun and a great place to relax if you're the kind of person who gets inspired by art, literature, and vintage things.
