Lauren is a gem of a unique, fun person whose AirBnb apartment reflects that. Colors pop and there are fun aesthetic touches, but music is the key to the heart of this amazing steal for travelers of Asheville. Lauren owns a record store in Sylva outside Asheville, and she knows her stuff. Her recs for food and art were amazing, her cats are sweet, her daughter is awesome. Basically Lauren welcomed us first time guests like family. Her apartment is thoughtfully laid out and communication was smooth and prompt. It's a really short drive to downtown Asheville and a shorter one to a delicious river-facing casual restaurant. We also stopped by her record store, which is 100% worth it for any lovers of vinyl.
