The Neighborhood:

If you want to explore West Asheville, there's a great website OnHaywood dot com (spelled out because Airbnb removed the link). This website has links and info on West Asheville restaurants, shops, music venues, clubs and businesses. Haywood Rd is the main street in West Asheville. Our Airbnb is on Haywood Rd, on the east side, between the River Arts District and central West Asheville. Some people call it "East West Asheville" because it is the east side of west Asheville.



Some of my favorite places on Haywood Road are (in no particular order):



Coffee Shops:



Battle Cat

Odds Cafe

Izzy's Coffee Shop



Breakfast:



King Daddy's Chicken and Waffles

Sunny Point Cafe

Biscuit Head

West End Bakery



Lunch and Dinner:



West End Bakery (lunch only)

Zia Taqueria

Taco Billy's

Nine Mile (Jamaican Pasta)

Buffalo Nickel

The Admiral (dinner)

WALK

Standard Pizza

Banditos

Dive Bars:

The Double Crown

Desoto Lounge

I hope this helps, but feel free to let me know if you have questions.



Getting Around:

Walk to local restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Downtown and River Arts are just a quick drive or Uber away.



Other Things to Note:

This is an upstairs unit with private entry. Please note there’s no elevator. This apartment sits above a separate lower-level unit and next door to a working lumber yard — daytime noise is common, especially on weekdays. It’s walkable to the best of West Asheville, but expect some city bustle. Not ideal for light sleepers or those seeking total seclusion.

West Asheville efficiency

Good location, and easy in and out. Poor window coverings, and the lighted exit signs did allow for a lot of light at night, so for me that made sleep difficult. Easy to walk to the river arts district, and right in the middle of west Asheville shops and restaurants.

Perfect little West Nest!

My partner & I booked this for our anniversary. We had no idea it was RIGHT across the street from our favorite karaoke spot (double crown on sundays) & coffee shop (battle cat). We had dinner right next door at the admiral & it was amazing. The bed was super comfy & while across the street from bars, it was extremely quiet. We were able to sit on the porch and listen to music from the cellarest at sunset as well. Highly recommend! Will definitely be visiting again!

Weekend getaway

very nice accommodations in an urban but secluded setting. Furnishings are very nice, nice kitchen, bath, deck. Was very pleased with location. West Asheville has some interesting restaurants, bars, coffee houses. Location is located in the middle of them but private from street and neighbors.. Very convenient to downtown area and freeways, bike paths, easy to get around. Excellent communications with Host, check in procedure was very easy and accurate.

Overall excellent property and location

4 minor issues: (1) I found the tv services to be complicated and difficult to use, and substandard overall when compared to services such as AT&T U-Verse. (2) Some of the wall plug-in receptacles seem to have loose power connections, or are defective. (3) I would have felt more secure, esp for my vehicle, if the parking area and apt entrance door were under constant video surveillance. (4) Porch light doesn't work; may just be a burnt out bulb.

Perfect West Asheville getaway

We had a great stay at this property. The location was quiet, tucked away off the street, and had plenty of parking. And being able to walk to some of the best restaurants and bars in town was a nice bonus! The apartment itself was impeccably clean and stocked with everything you could need for a stay. I loved the little touches as well- the bed was very comfy, and the space was thoughtfully decorated. We’d be happy to come back for future trips.

West Nest Review

cute, small VRBO in a relatively good location. walking distance to restaurants which is nice. the back parking lot was a little sketchy in that there seemed to be a lot of people who would just park there for nearby restaurants. there was also a staircase that went right up to the deck that anyone could potentially access.
