This is a bedroom with an en-suite bath that’s been outfitted like a tiny studio apartment. While it’s adorable and has almost anything you’d need - It doesn’t have its own temperature control or electric panel, which meant that when I needed to use the space heater, the breaker switched off and turned off the power in my room - because it’s not a separate apartment and can’t handle all the devices that are in it. (Happy to say that Brett promptly remedied this) While this may work for most people it was not what I expected. It is advertised as renting “an entire home” but what I was renting was a room in a home. I was expecting it to be an actual cottage/tiny house - which I needed so that I could Play music without bothering anyone (I was in Asheville to record). Additionally, while the house is advertised as being walking distance - it wasn’t really walk-able. I was afraid of being hit by a car trying to cross a busy street to downtown Asheville, on a street with no cross walks and sidewalks that stopped and started. So I ended up Using Uber and getting rides from
Friends anyway. This all being said, Brett truly is an excellent host. He was Prompt in his communication and helpful. He solved the breaker issue within 10 minutes. The bed was *super* comfortable, the space was sparkling clean, I truly loved (and needed!) those snacks as I arrived famished and I enjoyed the bath. I was grateful For all those things. So I do thank you Brett! But I would not have booked this space had I known it wasn’t comfortably walkable or that i wasn’t truly renting “an entire home.” Calling it a “cottage,” in the title of the listing, is really misleading when it is just a room in your home. I hope you’ll consider changing the way you advertise this space!
