DO NOT STAY HERE!
Myself and four friends (all women) chose this house based on the beautiful pictures of the newly renovated home. Unfortunately, what's not pictured is the dilapidated home within 15 feet of the house. It has busted out/boarded up windows, "keep out" signs, and overall looks like the perfect place for squatters to stay the night in this shady neighborhood.
Additionally, there is a broken glass window in the basement of the main home. True, there is no way to get from the basement to the main level inside the home. However, the strong smell of mold/mildew in the home is probably coming from the basement that has been allowed to accumulate moisture for at least several months (we found another review mentioning the broken basement window from several months ago).
Also not pictured or mentioned is the small parking area right next to the busy road (parallel to it). We did not feel safe staying at this location and the host refused to refund us stating that the abandoned house was mentioned in the listing (he refunded the cleaning fee since we didn't stay there - $65). You'll have to search hard to find this blurb...it's buried down below the reviews, under the "Where You'll Be Staying" section, and listed even further under a paragraph about Asheville. If you do find the blurb on the abandoned house, it falsely states that it is "being renovated" into another airbnb property. This house that's basically falling in on itself is NOT being renovated. It's just dying a slow death.
