Very much enjoyed my first Airbnb experience! The basement apartment was clean and warm, and the shower pressure was outstanding!! Covid precautions were appreciated and thankfully, as I was flying in, I had relatives who were able to provide the requested pillow and blanket. The hosts provided a Keurig with both coffee and tea, water and creamer in the fridge, and a microwave. The bathroom amenities included shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap and hairdryer. Street parking is a short walk down the well-lit driveway. The area around the entrance to the apartment is also well-lit which was appreciated with darkness coming so early in the evening.
While footsteps could be heard upstairs, it wasn’t overly loud. Graham was available to answer questions - both before and during my stay - and stopped by the first night when I couldn’t figure out how to use the bedroom heater. The TV later proved a challenge as I was not familiar with using a fire stick to gain access to programming. However, I was determined to figure it out myself and, once done, what a wealth of programming!!
Bring a pair of slippers as you’re requested to leave your shoes in the hall. Review your host’s notebook for places to go. Add a visit to the River Arts District to your shopping list, especially Riverview Station on Lyman St, where there are a wealth of amazing artisans (be sure to check out the interior studios too). If you like good Thai food, visit Baan Thai in South Asheville.
Looking forward to my next visit and the knowledge that I have found a good place to stay!
