Separate HVAC was the ideal place for us to stay because we were in Asheville for a wedding reception for our son and this apartment was very close to his BNB and the venue. The apartment was spotlessly clean better than almost any other AirBnB I've rented. The decor was lovely. Our king bed was comfortable. The host and her husband live upstairs and were wonderful and gracious hosts. It was also Mother's Day weekend and I received a rose plant from my son and his wife. I had set it outside the door and the host put it in a nice basket then told me to keep it which I thought was a very generous gesture. I gave the property 3 stars for value, not because of anything the host did but because the hospitality taxes for Asheville are so high that when all was added up, we paid over $600 for only 2 nights. Also, I had to make a change in the reservation because my son changed the day for the reception from Monday to Sunday. Our original reservation was for Sunday and Monday leaving on Tuesday. When I added Saturday thinking I now had a reservation for 3 nights, for some reason I lost the reservation for Monday night. Guess it was my fault and I put in the reservation alteration wrong but I didn't realize what had happened until I received a phone call from the host Monday afternoon telling me I had to leave. We got it worked out and the host was very gracious about my mistake. Next trip to Asheville I've learned that, for me, it isn't worth paying the high taxes to stay in town. Asheville has a no kitchen law which is why there is only a hot plate in this apartment to cook on and it takes forever to reach temperatures for cooking. We prefer to cook our meals when we go AirBnb but knew and understood the situation this time. However, I was expecting to have some basic kitchen utensils such as a cutting board, a measuring cup and ice trays. If you're a big coffee drinker, bring your own mugs. The coffee cups are about a double espresso size. Other than our disappointment with the kitchenette and the cost, this place was excellent which is why I gave it 5 stars. Those 2 things are not enough to lower the rating because I'm sure there are lots of other guests who don't mind the cost and don't cook.
