Michele was a great host, even before I checked in. She was easy to contact through messages and kept me informed of her schedule so we could arrange a convenient check-in time. She provided local snacks and beverages and a good list of Asheville restaurants, cafes and bars and gave me several personal recommendations.

The apartment opens to the home's back yard. It was clean comfortable and large, and there was a parking spot right outside. The neighborhood was very pretty and peaceful, and the other homeowners I encountered were friendly and helpful with directions. The mile walk to downtown was easy and I felt safe even late at night.

This was my first air bnb experience and it was a wonderful one. I would not hesitate to stay at Michele's apartment again.
