I sadly did not have the experience other reviewers had with Melanie’s home. When we got there we rushed around and unpacked, then went to the store for necessities and ordered takeout. When we got back, I noticed the fridge was really dirty and that oysters were left in the freezer. I cleaned the fridge so we could put our groceries away and texted Melanie to see what happened. She replied that she had forgotten to look at the fridge after other guests had been there five days. Later that night, I kept noticing more spiders and cob webs, that floor was dirty and crump filled, that the bathroom sink wasn’t wiped down, I found a bag with someone’s nasal spray and saline solution as well. My main concern was my dog because we had already booked short, <2 hour, experiences to fully experience Asheville and the surrounding areas. I texted Melanie that night and told her I was not happy and that I would like to talk in the morning. Gratefully, she obliged, apologized for my experience and she allowed us to repack all of our things. She cleaned the floor and vacuumed for us. I commend her for admitting her fault and trying to make our comfort greater. I just feel like our first full day of vacation was ruined and my first Airbnb rental was not as clean as I hoped it would be. She is very quite and you can hear her some times upstairs but the noise level isn’t enough to bother anyone. The location of her home is perfect for not staying in the busy city but being very close to most areas.
