My boyfriend and I stayed at David's home for Memorial Day weekend. We arrived a bit later than expected (early Sat afternoon instead of late Friday night due to a family emergency), for which David called us early Sat am to check on us. Very kind of him.

Everything on this private floor was exactly as described - easy keypad entry (very convenient - no need for exchange of keys), tidy living arrangements that are perfect for two adults, thoughtful little extras such as an extension cord on the side of the bed, and all the necessities in a bathroom one may need. The bathroom extras in particular stood out to us as it showed he cares about his guests' comfort. Breakfast nook consists of a mini fridge, a shelving unit that holds coffee, tea, honey, etc, and a table set up with settings for two persons. Couch and bed were quite comfy and roomy enough. David's home is in a great location in West Asheville, no more than a 12 min drive into the downtown area. Also, it's a nice and peaceful quiet neighborhood.

The one small thing that was a bit frustrating was that at the time of booking I messaged David requesting a late afternoon checkout since we were planned to arrive very late Friday evening, to which David replied that he'd be happy to host us. I took that to mean that he was in agreement. On the morning of our checkout day I realized that I must have been mistaken because he sent me a message stating checkout was for 11am. After mentioning the agreement we had he stated he was not aware of such an agreement... after showing him our conversation thread (thankfully I saved this) he said we can chalk it up to a misunderstanding, and we settled on my boyfriend and I leaving within 1-2 hours as he reported needing to clean for his next guests. Perhaps I should have reconfirmed this arrangement with him, though I thought from the initial conversation all was a go. It was frustrating because we fell asleep the night prior at ~ 5am due to wedding festivities and were hoping to proper sleep in prior to our 6hr drive home. However, we did appreciate him giving us those 1-2 hours to arrange our belongings instead of kicking us out right away. As always, I ensured to leave the place pretty much exactly as I found it, so as to limit the amount of cleaning left for him to do.

Besides the above snafu, our stay at David's private floor was quite enjoyable. I would highly recommend staying at his residence.
