Let’s not mince words here, this is a basement apartment (albeit a walkout with two small windows). This means you can clearly hear walking, conversations and TV upstairs. I was woken from walking at 3-4:00am both nights. Plus, there is a train nearby.
If you are an intuitive person, there is much negativity here - not good juju.
It was close to Biltmore and the interstate. It was clean. There was no welcome except to refer us a website about things to do in Asheville.
when we asked about hiking. As far as asking about it being safe to walk in the neighbors, we were told yes and yes to bears as well. Hmmm. I was absolutely not welcomed and felt like I was bothering/interrupting with my one question.
Thank you, thank you to previous guests who left recommendations on breakfast, dinners and what to do.
We came for a restorative, romantic retreat. This is a absolutely not what we had in mind. We, our mistake clearly - the confusion was ours - thought we had booked three nights and it was only two. We were at breakfast when we were told we had to be out at 10 as guests were expected at 4:00. We rushed though breakfast (and were told this wouldn’t help) and we were out at 11:20. I offered to pay more money, she declined.
Apparently this host has not made a mistake, or is complete inflexible.
Again, a paper in your notebook with recommendations on eating and activities may have helped us feel more welcome than your words on needing our help (cleanliness, heat off etc)
I never even had a chance to take a shower so no comment on that. No games/puzzles except a deck of cards and a basket of books with cobwebs.
My son had one of the first Airbnbs in LA area. Both of my sons ran it and I helped. I have a fair amount of knowledge about Airbnbs. We have stayed at countless Airbnbs, VRBO, and the quaint Bad and Breakfasts. This was by far our worst stay. We are both upset and heading home a day early with heavy hearts.
