Four of us were on a girls' trip to celebrate two milestone birthdays. One of the birthday girls stated "It was such a lovely trip. Lots of walking and cocktails and good conversation." which sums it up perfectly! We walked all over downtown to the shops and galleries, the Basilica and restaurants. We were able to jump in the car which was parked right outside (not in a garage and at no extra cost!) to drive to the Biltmore and the RIver Arts District. We all agreed that the best part was staying at Elevation Lofts, as much of the aforementioned "cocktails and conversation" took place there. The glassware in the kitchen is stocked to serve ANY kind of drink (inluding corkscrew and cocktail shaker). We were able to make a full pot of coffee each morning with the locally sourced coffee grounds that were provided. In fact, they thought of everything that you could possibly need and supplied it (except for ice - you will need to buy a bag of that, but the freezer IS big enought to hold it). Most importantly, there was space for us to hang out together before, after, and between our adventures. And this trip was mainly about just that - spending time together.
