We vacation in Asheville quite often and normally stay at a hidden gem Airbnb. Because we decided to take a spontaneous trip our normal airbnb was unavailable and I found Kats airbnb. I am going to start with the pros first. Kat was a very responsive and great communicator. The Airbnb is centrally located and is a short distance to downtown, RAD, and other highly desirable areas. The washer and dryer was a plus to have.
Now for the cons. When we arrived the Airbnb smelled like someone just cooked a greasy fish on the stove. There was grease on the stovetop and the smell stayed in the house for 2 days out of our 5 day stay. That was an immediate turn off and made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the space.
The king size bed is a memory foam bed and my spouse and I did not get a good nights sleep the entire time we were there. The bed ate us up and it was like climbing out of a hole when you needed to get up. If you have a firm bed at home you will not be comfortable on this bed and this is something that I think reviews need to state. It is helpful. Also there is a small window directly above the bed which has no covering and the sun shines in directly on your face as well as the motion sensor outside is constantly turning on and shining in the window.
Depending on what type of vacation you are looking to have this is my last bit of information. We were looking to spend our days doing what we like to do and then spend our nights relaxing with a book or the tv. We both have corporate jobs and do not really have a chance to just chill out. The living room is very, very small and not functional to relax in. There is no tv in the living room (Kat adjusted the price because of this and that was appreciated). Because the only tv is in the bedroom with the king size bed, you are left to sit/sink in the bed with all of the pillows in the house to prop you up and watch tv from only the bedroom. Because the bed was so uncomfortable, we found it incredibly difficult to relax and chill out watching a show. We thought about leaving a couple days early because of this in particular but we already paid for the stay.
This is not a review to drag Kat as a host, but as a traveler these are things I wish others would write. The honest and small or big things that make or break your vacation.
