Michael's rental was a convenient base from which to explore Asheville and environs for our week-long visit. His house is in a quiet residential neighborhood within easy walking distance of the UNC campus. We enjoyed walking to the popular Tailgate Farmer's market (on Saturdays) and Botanic Garden. Downtown Asheville is only a short drive (or a longish walk) away. There is a neighborhood "free library" at the end of the driveway and a variety of eateries and other conveniences nearby on Merrimon Ave. Although Michael's detailed driving directions were spot on, I was glad we arrived during daylight given the hilly terrain and narrow, winding roads. The house has motion-activated outdoor lights, but the doorknob entry keypad was in shadow. Fortunately the keypad lights up as soon as the first number is pressed. Windows are on one wall of the bedroom only, so it is nice and dark at night, but not very light during the day (the unit is effectively part of the basement level that opens out to the driveway). Both bedroom and bathroom are quite spacious. A faux fireplace/heater was easy to adjust and kept us comfortable on cool nights. We appreciated having access to a large frig/freezer, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster, microwave and tableware. We mostly ate breakfasts at the house and packed lunches (for dayhikes). Dirty dishes were removed and replaced daily. I was happy to have our coffee grounds composted. It was nice to have a washer and dryer available, even though we did not make use of them. Hot water was plentiful and reliable (i.e., water temperature in the shower was steady). WiFi worked well. Parking was a little tight, but we were able to get our rental car (a small sedan) in and out without trouble. As mentioned in the listing, we could hear sounds from other people in the house, but opted not to use the "white noise" generator. Quiet hours were generally respected except for one night when someone was walking around on the floor above us after midnight. Michael was very friendly and responded quickly every time I messaged him. We'd definitely consider staying at Michael's again.
