Eh. There seems to be a lot of hype over this Ikea styled apartment. The building definitely has charm, but it is lost in the Ikea showroom that is in the inside. The location is walk-able to downtown, but, since the host dosen't mention the halfway house in the description, it can be surprising to find once you arrive. We didn't have any issues with those in need, and never felt unsafe, but I think it is something that needs to be mentioned.
I had a sour experience with the host and his communication. I reached out more than a week prior to arrival to ask about a noon check-out (it was spring forward, I knew we needed some extra time), and one he finally responded, I was told that it would cost an additional $100 to change the cleaners schedule. That is not how it read online and at 10am on check-out day, there were no cleaners to be seen, so that is even more disappointing.
I find the space to be fine. If you are going to cook and not eat at all the great spots Asheville has to offer, this apartment definitely sets you up for success. We didn't, so felt like the price didn't meet our needs. There are harsh signs around the apartment on if you dirty a towel or something, that you will be charged even more. Super off putting. I would say this is a great space for a family of 3. Parents in the king bed, and 1 child in the double bed. That room definitely isn't big enough for 2 adults.
Next time I am in Asheville, definitely will not be staying here.
