In every way, this condo met our expectations. The pre-check-in communication was clear and concise. The condo was spotless. The furnishings were in new condition and the bed was very comfortable (it was just the two of us, so one bedroom was never used). We were able to easily walk to every restaurant on our must-do list (note: Cucina 24 was exceptional). Parking was safe and secure in their key-pad access garage.
We are former 5-star hosts with Airbnb -- we know how hard you need to work to earn the rating this condo enjoys.
Perfection is not achievable in any property. But where the owner could control shooting for perfection, it was achieved. The bus station across the street did attract an unsavory character or two, but we never felt unsafe -- tragic characters, not threatening in any way. But even when walking you are clear of the area in a half block. I strongly considered not even mentioning this, but I want everyone reading this review to know that it is real, truthful, accurate.
My wife and I have visited Asheville a number of times. This stay was, to date, our best experience. We highly recommend it.
