I’ll start with some pros first.
Great location as far as it’s close to shopping, food, and the Biltmore house.
Bed was comfy because we like a firm mattress. The space was cute.
Cons: the hot tub is part of the listing and 50% of why I booked the place. The hot tub was 70 degrees upon our arrival (which has been scheduled for two months) but never got above 80 until this morning when it was time to checkout. So after hand washing our dishes, sorting the garbage, and stripping the beds and putting the sheets and towels in the washer there was no time. There was a “detergent reservoir” which was “full” but indicated the soap was low, didn’t see any suds. Hopefully the hot water will do the job. There was a cleaning fee of $80 which, after we cleaned it per house rules would be used for vacuuming the tiny space and cleaning the toilet.
The blinds were not private at all. You could see from outside directly into the unit. They also didn’t filter any of the light out which sucked because the upstairs occupants made racket until late every night. There’s no vent system for the stove so the smoke alarm went off and we had to dismantle it, all to be awoken at 4am with the smoke alarm chirping. We were on chairs at 4am trying to fix it.
There was a group upstairs and it sounded like they were moving furniture until midnight. We could even hear them getting texts on their phones. Which is odd because there’s directions in our unit to act like ninjas and be quiet after 10. So attempts to rest were thwarted at night and in the morning. The shower head only works if you can do the limbo as it sits at a location inappropriate for anyone over 5’6.
The hot tub not being ready is a lack of hospitality to me. Owner of the unit said he was sorry after blaming it on us for “pushing buttons” which is pretty standard when you see arrows for temperature and it’s on 70.
We paid $370 for two nights. Not worth it.
As far as Asheville it’s beautiful, and I highly recommend the Van Gogh immersive experience and audio tour of the Biltmore. Those experiences were amazing.
