I have stayed in multiple Airbnb's so I am not an inexperienced Airbnb user. I have stayed in multiple locations throughout the US and have met some of the most wonderful hosts. Unfortunately this was not the case in staying at AshVilla.
After arriving at AshVilla the sloping gravel driveway was very intense and very difficult with luggage. The room looked like the pictures depicted but the description did not say it was a basement apartment.
We were awakened both mornings of our stay at 7am to their dog barking, their child screaming and the hosts speaking very loudly and walking around above us. The very first morning I had to walk to my car and stepped barefooted in dog poop right outside my door from their dog. I took pictures of the smelly dog poop everywhere (which I can provide). Very disgusting to say the least!
Both hosts never bothered to introduce themselves in fact the husband was outside with the dog on the first day and ran back in the house and left the dog outside when he saw me.
The kitchen had zero ice and no way to make any. Apparently the icemaker was broken but yet there were no ice trays. Be sure you also bring your own toiletries because there was no bar soap and you are only provided with a 3 oz bottle of shampoo for 2 people. There were only 2 wine glasses in the cabinet and one was in there broken (which I notified the host about).
As far as walking distance to restaurants and bars it is actually a 30 minute walk which is not reasonable of being close as described.
I hate to give bad reviews but I was in no way pleased with this Airbnb. It was not relaxing or peaceful, not convenient to walk to restaurants and definitely not for anyone with mobility issues to walk to and from your car. As stated previously the dog poop around the apartment was disgusting and the hosts were not friendly at all!
