Incredible Location in comfortable Loft

This was a great stay. The location alone is worth the stay - walking distance to all the great breweries and restaurants. Plus, the loft itself was very cozy and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

This space was beautiful and the location literally couldn't be better. We were able to walk to SO many breweries and restaurants. We loved visiting the coffee shop and the cheese shop downstairs too! We got incredibly lucky with parking, we did a few laps and then managed to get one right at the corner of the building. We didn't dare move the vehicle during our stay, but otherwise, we would defintely stay again!

BEST location in AVL

We will be staying here every trip to Asheville if possible. Probably the best location we have ever stayed in our 10+ visits to the city. Aside from the location, the studio met all our needs and was so cute. We had family pictures taken here as the natural light from the windows was so great. Thank you to the owners and we will be visiting again soon!

Cool Place

Comfortable, stylish and well stocked. Close to many nice restaurants and breweries. Short drive to most attractions. Road noise on weekend nights a bit much for those not used to urban life but c’est la vie. Host very responsive when required. I’d stay here again, thanks.

Prime location and clean!

My husband and I visited Asheville for his birthday. Walking distance from breweries & cider company. Less than 10 minute drive to the Biltmore and Omni Park Inn. Walked to restaurants in the downtown (just under a mile) Loved the carafe of coffee each morning from the coffee shop below. Modern, clean and well stocked!! We would definitely love to stay again!

Great Location in South Slope!

Short walks to all the breweries in the South Slope district (Green Man and Burial being both pretty much next door) was a plus. Walking distance to downtown too. Loved the convenience of coffee and wine downstairs. The loft was modern clean and just as pictured in the listing. Parking can be tricky but we didn't use our car much during our stay - no need! Had a great trip and will consider this loft again when visiting Asheville. Thanks!

Urban loft experience

Wanderlust has a fantastic vibe that sits above an amazing cheese shop and coffee house. It’s smack in the middle of great breweries and is a short walk to the bustle of downtown eateries. We will definitely be back here for our next trip.
