This was my first experience using Airbnb, and it was definitely positive. Allison and Peter were able to accommodate me last minute, and responded promptly. The house is set back a ways in a secluded neighborhood, but with a GPS, I had no trouble finding it. The drive to downtown Asheville was somewhere around 18 minutes and straightforward to navigate.

The place was clean and tidy, with the air mattress already made and inflated, and fresh towels and bath products laid out in the bathroom. In the two nights I stayed, I never met Allison and Peter. The basement has it's own private entrance, and is closed off from the rest of the house. I had to re-inflate the air mattress right before I settled in, but I slept well, and the house was quiet.
