This was the one of the best airbnbs in which we have ever stayed. The property managers were excellent. Very responsive to any question. The house is located in Arden which has enough good restaurants to just stay in town. Asheville is about 20 minutes away without traffic. The house was very clean. The view was awesome. Sitting on back porch was so relaxing. The master bedroom and bath were wonderful. The shower had good pressure, the pebble floor was really nice and there was a rain showered. The master and bath also both have a great view. The kitchen is large and well equipped. You will need to bring your own olive oil and extra spices if you want to cook. Salt, pepper, sugar, paper towels and tp were provided.
The driveway is very steep. I would not attempt it the first night of your stay in the dark. It is fine once you get used to it but if you come in winter, I think you should have a vehicle made for ice/snow and be well practiced in parking on steep hills. The roads were good and not too high up - no hairpin turns. The address is well marked and the the neighborhood was very nice. We felt safe. You cannot park in the garage but front steps are easy to use to get luggage in. All three bedrooms are upstairs.
Basic toiletries are provided but I would bring my own if you like luxury item. There was a bathtub in the second bathroom. The beds were super comfortable and bedroom were tastefully decorated. Each room had a ceiling fan. HVAC worked great and internet worked well. There was a nice laundry room with a good washer and dryer. There was a nice table to eat outside with ahi umbrella. There was some outdoor furniture that you could move temporarily to choose your view. The backyard was really cool and pretty to view. The price was really really great for this house. I cannot wait to come back. Try Wild Ginger and Biscuit head. Both great. Biscuit head had a bar of homemade jams - very fun. We most enjoyed Grove Park, Biltmore ad the NC Arboretum - very very cool for the price. I cannot recommend Shoji spa - it was our only bad experience. Might be ok in the fall but a big no for us in the summer. I highly recommend this house if you want to mostly enjoy the area around the home and maybe go into Asheville once or twice. If you want to mainly enjoy downtown Asheville, I would choose a place closer in.
