My partner and myself have stayed in quite a few airbnbs over the past year with the pandemic. This place was by far our favorite.
Clara was beyond welcoming! She sent over the super easy check in process about a week before we arrived, and also recs for the area (and oh my goodness what an enhanced list!!!) She checked in on us after we arrived to ensure we had everything and to prewarn us about her pup potentially barking :) I think we heard the pup once or twice the entire stay, and it was for a 2 second bark, the prewarning was nice but didn't really bother us as we are dog people. She also followed up to thank us for staying ! (SO Sweet! )
The place itself was the perfect little basement (without feeling trapped) studio. There was a ton of natural light from the windows and door (I got up and bird watched most mornings) and the french doors were the nicest touch into the bedroom that was an oasis for book readers!
The place was completely clean and she even left out cleaning supplies if you needed to tidy anything up ! There was a cute little welcome sign for us when we arrived and a gift basket of popcorn and biscottis as well as some water in the fridge.
We took advantage of the mini fridge and the Brita water filter was beyond helpful as we were hiking a lot so filling up water bottles consistently throughout the weekend. We unfortunately did not get to use the french press coffee pot as we were just too busy most mornings.
Once last rave THE LOCATION- I cannot stress enough that this place was a 4-9 min drive to literally any part of Asheville and it was tucked away off of the main streets enough that you couldn't hear traffic sounds, we did not make it up to Grove park inn but that was totally in walking distance.
Overall, we LOVED the place and would highly recommend it to anyone!
