Absolutely loved my stay with Karen and will be staying with her again soon. This was my first Airbnb experience and I was a bit nervous about what to expect.
With Karen, there is no need to worry. For a great price, you receive better accommodations than most hotels. They were private, clean, spacious, convenient and very comfortable. Karen used to run a bed and breakfast, so expect a few extra touches such as a booklet with lots of restaurant reviews, pamphlets about things to do while your in Ashville, books about the history of the area as well as things you may have forgotten, like a hairdryer and bath robe. She even surprised me with a continental breakfast that went above what I had asked for.
With Karen, you can be as private or as social as you want. I left feeling as if I had found a new friend that I can't wait to visit again and will feel more comfortable using airbnb again in the future due to her gracious hospitality.
Oh...and least I forget,Karen truly cares about her guests....my phone died just as I was getting off her exit. After finding a way to contact her, she met me at a local store and had me follow her back. I was completely blown away. Upon learning how directionally challenged I am, she even provided me with directions to each of my destinations while I was there. That type of personal service is something you don't see with many businesses these days!
