Excellent location, just a 5-minute or so drive to downtown Asheville. Everything was very clean and tidy. We appreciated the white sheets and towels! Kitchenette was the perfect size and the snacks and coffee were a nice bonus. Another unexpected surprise were the robes and slippers! When we arrived, I told my husband, "Ah! The concrete floor is chilly, I wish I had brought my slippers!" And to my surprise, he pulled out clean ones from the closet! Laurel really thought of everything! Although this is the lower level of their home, the entrance is private and you can lock , as well as the bedroom door (with a bolt), in case privacy concerns. (Though, we didn't have any.) The listing mentions potential noise from the area, but we didn't notice anything - it was very quiet and peaceful. 2 TV's - one in the living area and one in the bedroom - had many viewing options for when we came home after a long day of hiking and just wanted to chill together or in separate rooms. For anyone parking at the residence, please note that the driveway is very steep and unpaved; our rental car had trouble exiting without spinning its wheels. Luckily, there's enough space to turn around and back into the parking spot at the end of the driveway, which made for much easier exits. Otherwise, my husband and I highly recommend this residence and it was a great value for the price! Thanks again Laurel for your hospitality!
