TL;DR: place as represented in pictures is accurate but doesn’t tell the whole story. Apartment is spacious and nice, but had issues with functionality; it may fit your needs, but for the price, we wouldn't stay again.
Pros: Lily’s place had all the basics. Clean, comfortable bed and couches, basic kitchen, beautiful space, back porch, rain shower, good location.
Cons: the ceiling/floor is paper thin and noise was an issue; house has windows with no window coverings and the bathroom is not connected to the bedroom so you walk between the two in full view of neighbors; kitchen was minimally functional.
If you’re headed to Asheville to eat out a lot and reheat leftovers or fix a sandwich or light breakfast, you should be ok. If you want to execute a recipe in this kitchen, you would be hard pressed. There are some kitchen basics, but nothing to measure with. We only had 1 full sized coffee mug in the cabinet for our stay, plus two smaller (decorative) mugs. Made morning coffee at the apartment challenging.
*Noise* from the unit above us was also something to contend with as we could hear every step over a creaky old floor. We could also hear conversations in the upstairs unit at times. If you are a light sleeper, you will end up on the schedule of the guests in the upstairs unit. We used a white noise app on our phones at highest volume and still had issues, especially when one group of travelers used the washing machine repeatedly early in the morning.
*Privacy* was an issue. The bathroom is not connected to the bedroom, and there are no curtains for the nearby windows when moving between the 2. In the main living space, there are only curtains in the front of the house, which are very sheer and allow people to see in, as well as glare from oncoming headlights at night.
The listing at the time of our booking and stay mentioned standard cable available, which we did not experience.
