Asheville is gorgeous this time of year (late October), and we hope to return to the area every autumn, perhaps at a different location. Here is our honest review of the pros and cons we experienced:
Pros: Jeff is a superb host. He is communicative, clear in his instructions, and eager to share his knowledge on all things Asheville. The house is in a great location, with easy access to downtown, the Blueridge Parkway, and supermarkets/restaurants that will deliver. The screened in porch is a great space to relax. The kitchen is well stocked. Wifi worked well and there were plenty of charging outlets/stations.
Cons: In our experience, the house was not exactly clean. It seemed tidy but the kitchen, the bathroom and the floors were not what we’ve come to expect from our Airbnb picks. This was a little stressful as we worried if other things were cleaned properly given the current pandemic. The full size bed was very noisy; the smallest movement caused the bed to creak loudly.
This is certainly a very busy season for Asheville rentals, so I’m sure turning a rental house around for new guests is hectic. The cons we experienced have an easy fix, and we’re sure Jeff will address these concerns for future guests.
