This was our 20th airbnb over the last 3 months that we have been travelling around Canada and the US. This is definitely our worst experience to date. We can't understand how our view differs so much from all the earlier reviews. We actually wondered whether we had come to the right place! The pictures are accurate but cannot reflect the pervading atmosphere.
Marilyn was away when we arrived and had arranged to leave a key for us. Her communication was good at all times. As soon as we opened the front door there was a smell, which we were unable to identify. The place felt damp and was obviously not particularly clean. She kindly allowed us to use her kitchen but it too was dirty, greasy and we had to wash dishes, pans and clean the worktops before we could cook. There was a hair in the fridge which was also less than clean. The bedroom was ok but did not have A/C or a ceiling fan and was very hot. It was also very damp and left our clothes with a musty smell. The bathroom was superficially clean but the shower needed a deep clean.
It was a great location, close to Biltmore House, downtown Asheville and the Parkway.
I don't like making negative comments when people have invited us into their home. However, we were paying guests and felt this was not up to standard.
Would we recommend - No. Would we return for another stay - definitely not.
