My experience renting Ar's Urban Peace was definitely one of the best experiences I've had to-date on Airbnb. This is one of those places that is better than it looks even in the photos. Where do I start?? First of all, the entire booking process was seamless. She was very responsive, attentive and provided me with organic and local food and juice for breakfast and an outstanding bottle of wine even though I only booked last minute, a day before arrival.

The space is impeccably clean and comfortable (and I am a neat freak). Very welcoming, very cozy, great bed, great lighting, great pillows. Plenty of space, very quiet and private. The fireplace is great. The TV has Netflix and all that great stuff. Internet was sticky at first but Ar fixed it for me the first day. The location is fine; it's only 5 minutes to downtown. Having a car is most convenient. The neighborhood is safe and well kept.

Ar also has an amazing attention to detail. The longer I was in the space, the more things I noticed. Many landlords and hosts fill their property with low-end everything to cut corners and save money. Not Ar! At Urban Peace, I quickly realized that everything is of the highest quality and even better than my own home! Linens, towels, cutlery, pots and pans, appliances and everything down to the salt & pepper shakers were thoughtfully provided and seemed brand new or in perfectly maintained condition. The dinnerware was from Italy and also Vera Wang (as opposed to Walmart). The space is very well-equipped. Everything was just really nice and that made it extra special staying there. The water is spring water with the pH and spring source labeled, the coffee was freshly ground, there was a selection of teas and all the basics like olive oil, creamer etc. Everything was organic or local, even the bath soaps!

I also got a massage with Ar as I was there for 4 nights. It was one of, if not the best massage of my life. She's a great healer/body worker.

I will definitely try to stay here again next time I'm in Asheville. I'm sure I'm missing some things as I just want to rave about this place, but all-in-all, if you are a conscientious person who appreciates a zen space, peace and quiet and thoughtful details, this is a great fit for you.

I'm a realtor, broker and rental manager and I've seen thousands and thousands of properties in my career. Urban Peace has all the factors for a great rental, a great landlord and a great stay while in Asheville.
