BEWARE.
I would rate the accuracy as one star for two main reasons. The first being this unit was listed as a "NEW" studio apartment close to downtown. The reality is it is the back of a garage that has been converted to a studio apartment. I would not mind at all if it were mentioned in the listing that you would be walking up a driveway and going into a side-door for the back of the garage with another rental apartment unit directly above. I am reporting the photos to be inaccurate as there were no photos of the exterior of this unit that would show you the reality of the situation. Yes, I would say this unit was completed in the last few years, but I am personally getting more than a little tired of people advertising their AirBnb listings as something they are not. The second reason I consider this listing to be inaccurate is due to the bed/mattress situation. In the photos it shows a queen/full size bed. In reality, there was a queen/full size bed frame that looks like a bed but it was the absolutely most uncomfortable mattress. Upon further inspection, it was just a cheap futon mattress on that bed frame with about a 3-4" foam pad on top of that combined with some sort of cheap plastic-y mattress protector sheet that made a plastic krinkling sound anytime you moved. I have honestly been more comfortable on a half to 3/4 inflated air mattress pad. My wife and I are not heavy people by any means and both of us woke up with sore backs from sleeping in such a ridiculously soft futon mattress. On top of all that there were many, many ants in the place. I have never felt compelled to check out early from any other AirBnb we have rented, but we cancelled the remaining two nights we had and checked into a hotel.
I will say Laura was polite and I appreciated the welcome message and suggestions for things to do in and around Asheville. Check-in was super easy and the location is really quite convenient and just a short walk to the downtown and area with all of the breweries. Honestly, if the photos had shown the exterior of the unit or if there were more mention of it being a converted garage and if the terrible matterss were replaced, I would have given this a 4 star rating. I just think for approx $100 a night you should at least be sleeping on a real mattress, no matter the proximity to downtown. My wife and I were able to check into a decent hotel IN DOWNTOWN for $119/night for the remaining two nights we had after cancelling the last two nights at this airbnb.
