Pretty much a brand new place, still has the smell of a freshly built home, not the largest place but in impeccable condition and pretty comfortable for my wife and I. The bedroom is a nice size and the mattress was pretty comfortable, it's a hybrid mattress with springs on the bottom and memory foam on top, the rooms have mini split so you can set the temp to what you like in whichever area you are in at the time. Bathroom is very nice. the shower is great and plenty of countertop space on the vanity, linens were provided and I think there was a backup set of towels as well.
The kitchen is on the smaller size with a mini fridge and not stove, it does have a cooktop built into the granite and unless you get really ambitious there is enough space to cook on the stovetop. Cookware is provided but a larger saucepan or pot for spaghetti and such would be nice, several different coffee's and tea are provided and we appreciated having them on hand. The dishwasher is really quiet and there is plenty of soap to go with it, overall it is a very nice place in sparkling condition.
There are 2 things that we had a bit of a problem with, one is the location is on a fairly busy street and while they have beautiful brand new windows that open out and let in a lovely breeze you will have to deal with a good amount of road noise. The other is the lack of curtains or blinds, there are some Japanese style room dividers that are currently in front of a couple of the windows, but my wife is someone who really appreciates her privacy and blinds or shades would have been really nice.
Overall Phil is an excellent host and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable in this really nice and sparkling clean space, while being on a busier road is not optimal it does however afford you quick access to pretty much anywhere in Asheville, I 26 is right up the street and the house is less than a mile from the exit, thanks so much for hosting us Phil, great job.
