My husband and I booked this room for four nights in mid-August, 2014. The listing is a bit misleading in that it purports to have a two-night only minimum, but when we informed the host, Lisa, that we would like to book just three nights, she declined our reservation.

The weather during our stay was warm, in the mid-nineties, and there is no air conditioning in the space nor any windows to open. We were hoping for some privacy and relaxation based on the description which indicates the room "overlooks only trees". In fact you are situated quite closely to another house and there are no window treatments to offer any privacy whatsoever. On our last night, our neighboring guest in the upstairs part of the house hosted a party and their children and guests were literally outside looking into our room.

Parking became problematic when the guest sharing the adjoining house used all of the allocated parking forcing us to park on the street. They were amenable when asked to move, but went on to block us in the space by allowing others to park behind us. While this may have been an isolated incident, do bear in mind you are sharing some of the amenities and as such are subject to the courtesy (or lack thereof) of the other guests.

Finally, there seemed little effort to give the illusion that the place had been readied just for us. There was approximately 1/8 of a paper towel roll left, no extra toilet paper, only one coffee cup, etc. I personally stocked the room with a new roll of paper towels and arranged the room so that the next guest might feel a little more welcome. All in all, I would say this place photographs well but you’re better off to stay elsewhere. The location is convenient to all things West Asheville, and Asheville itself is a blast.
