When we booked this place we were excited about it because of the location and the pictures showed it to be an adorable place. The check-in was easy and after getting everything inside we left for the city. When we got back late my wife went in to change and I unpacked some things in the car. When I look up at the bedroom windows we noticed that the shades that were down were in fact see-through and not privacy blinds. With it dark outside and lights on in the rental you have full view of the bedroom and living area and everything that was going on in it. We felt uncomfortable that night but since it was late we didn’t want to disturb the host. Needless to say we didn’t get a lot of sleep that night, so much so that it set the mood moving forward. To be completely honest, the host did come over to offer to fix the blinds which was considerate of them. Unfortunately, the figurative balloon had already popped and we couldn’t push ourselves to stay further due to being set on edge so we had to go with our gut feeling. We politely asked the host a couple of times if we can have a more reasonable refund than was offered. We didn’t expect a full refund but it was difficult to swallow paying more than half of our weeks stay for one night. Needless to say, that soured the mood further, thus we couldn’t go higher in the rating. Never did we think to ask if the window coverings (especially in the bedroom) where privacy or not. On a good note, the host thanked us for letting them know and promised to add privacy coverings for their guests in the future; therefore, we hope that any future guest will not have the same experience then we did. After talking with AirBnB they couldn’t do anything so that is something to keep in mind. Therefore, this is our PSA to all who read this. You must ask questions about the place you will stay at even though it may be an obvious one like privacy shades in the bedroom. This was a very, very expensive lesson for us. Again, to be fair, this rating is due to our experience and may not reflect what you experience coming here. We did see great reviews and that is why we came here. We can say that the location is ideal and close to grocery stores and less than a half an hour to downtown Ashville. The place is clean and is well decorated so you will enjoy that. If we had not been so on edge by the first night we would have had a good experience here. Most likely you will have a good experience at this location or any location, if you ask the right questions.
