First of all it’s important to note Ron, the host, was very communicative and accommodating with our changing plans. Also, the location is very convenient to Asheville and the airport it’s it’s fairly private.
But it wasn’t the best of rentals. Stairs to the apartment are janky. The living room is super cramped, the furniture isn’t comfortable and the bed feels like an air mattress and has a plastic cover that crinkles any time you move. It was very hot and requires 2-3 window units to be running at all times so it’s noisy. There is literally nothing in the second bedroom and it’s also hot. Windows coverings don’t provide complete privacy- blinds are old, broken, don’t fit. Floors were swept but in corners there was dust and hair and grime buildup, and the fridge smelled like old food. There are also a lot of smells surrounding the area (animals and garbage) and it didn’t feel altogether safe to walk the dogs at night. It’s fine for one person for an overnight stay and it was cheap but isn’t very well suited for anything more.
