Our stay at this "Artist Sanctuary" was the best Airbnb experience we have ever had.
During the holidays this year we were looking to celebrate a classic Asheville Christmas, but we also wanted to sample one of Asheville's interesting neighborhoods with our Airbnb choice. Of course Christmas (or any other season) at the Biltmore is a 5-star experience, but so was our taste of living like a local. West Asheville is a surprisingly convenient location. With easy access to the area's three major highways, it's a short jaunt to wherever you want to go including Downtown, Biltmore Village and the breathtaking mountains of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Elizabeth, our host, also earned a 5-star rating from us. Her local knowledge and recommendations were very helpful. During our stay she was close by in a separate studio on the premises so easily accessible for questions, but she was also very respectful of our privacy as her guests. Her experience in the hospitality industry was clear as she went above and beyond to insure we had a special and memorable holiday.
The beds in this Airbnb are very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and the bathrooms updated in this nicely furnished rental. I would liken our stay to a magical Scandinavian immersion experience as we were surrounded by Nikolas' (Elizabeth's artist husband) colorful, whimsical wooden creations and original paintings. This Airbnb truly is an "Artist Sanctuary".
We hope to return and highly recommend to others looking to experience more than a tourist's visit to Asheville this Airbnb choice. And to Elizabeth, who will have to supply the Bob Hope soundtrack in her head, "Thanks (beyond words) for the memories..."
