What a find... Where to start!? If you're not familiar with Asheville, be prepared to fall in love with the Beaverdam area where this AirBnB is located. This is our second time staying in this area, and we love it so much we have actually looked at buying property in the area. It has great access to downtown (there's a shortcut if you take Kimberly Ave to Charlotte St), but is so quiet and serene. You can also sneak up to the Blue Ridge Parkway via Craven Gap if you head east on Beaverdam Road and take the Webb Cove Rd fork. Location, location, location. This place has it.
The hosts keep a very clean and tidy space and have thought of seemingly everything. We especially liked the little touches like integrated keypad access for doorlocks and the timed heater in the bathroom. Having a washer and drier in-unit was such a pleasure as well. Go ahead and pack light; doing some laundry here is easy.
You can really tell that the hosts put a lot of thought into this little space. There are so many nice little touches, it's hard to list them all. The tiniest little things like the arrangement of light switches, dimmers, and little amenities like a fan that lets you pick the color temperature of the light, or the ample comfy afghans and pillows on the couch. This place has that "home" feel that you just cannot get in a hotel.
Speaking of the hosts, they provide a guide book that reads like an Asheville's greatest hits playlist. We love Asheville and spend a fair amount of time there. The guide had many of our favorite places, and even added one to our list (thanks!). I would not hesitate to take the host's recommendation on any variety of tips or tricks.
Oh, and we got to see a family of black bears (a mom and three cubs) one day when we returned home from a hike. They literally walked right by, playing in a stand of trees as we watched.
Such a gem.
