We had a great stay at Susan's place! The basement apartment is large and open with comfortable furniture. This was our first Airbnb experience and I think it might have spoiled us for future places. We were lucky enough to be there for the first snow of the season. The view from the bay windows is beautiful and we really enjoyed building a fire to stay cozy! Particularly grateful that the apartment is pet friendly. It was great to be able to travel with our dog and not stress about boarding her back home -- especially since so many spots in Asheville are pet friendly! It was fun taking her along to breweries. Location is perfect! Not walkable unless you're really in a pinch (more snow on the roads, for instance) but just minutes from downtown by car. Their neighborhood is great, very quiet and peaceful. We explored the Grove Park Inn area (there is a great gallery and antique car museum there) Sunday morning before we left. That's less than a mile away and even closer than downtown. Susan was very kind, allowing us a late check out that morning. It gave us extra time to grab brunch (Biscuit Head! Go there! So yummy!) and explore on our last day rather than just clearing out and having to go home first thing. Would absolutely stay here again when we're back to Asheville. Thanks so much!!
