We would never consider staying there again. THE HOUSE IS NOT IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM A HOMELESS AGENCY. We came to Asheville for a much needed vacation and we were disappointed to find a number of homeless people loitering on the sidewalk, sleeping on the pavement, and police making visitations to the area. The property has a real estate agency on one side and maybe a house on the other. Other than that, it is surrounded by parking lots, construction
sites and the homeless agency. We would have preferred a location in a quiet residential community where we could taken an occasional enjoyable stroll. We did not want to lift the shades (pretty ugly outside) or walk around the neighborhood. I think these facts should have been disclosed by the owner in his description.
That said, it was nicely furnished and the owner provided the usual amenities. The geographical location was good. We did not have noise problems that some guests had, but our upstairs neighbors seemed considerate. Parking was difficult but we made it work. No real complaints other than the neighborhood and the fact that it wasn’t properly disclosed. My fault for not reading the comments.
I don’t have anything against the homeless and the agency seems to do good work. It’s just not
something we wanted to deal with on our vacation trip to the mountains and I think it should have been disclosed.
