The apartment was super clean and had everything we expected it would from the listing. Jan and Leighton were easy to communicate with and handled anything we needed immediately. The apartment is almost exactly 10 min to the center of downtown so we liked being so close to Asheville. The lake is very close by but not exactly walkable. I mean distance wise it totally is but it's along a main road so while that was one of the main reasons we booked this AirBnB we never actually made it to the lake. Although we drove by many times and it looked lovely.
The only negative thing I can say is that their housemate who lives upstairs seems to never sleep and the floors are very easy to hear through. One night we were constantly woken up until 4am, even over our white noise machine we use for our toddler. We mentioned this to Jan and Leighton and they spoke to the housemate and handled the situation as best as they could. We did continue to hear her at night but it wasn't too bad the rest of our trip. Maybe this was a one time thing but unfortunately we would not stay here again because of the housemate. But we have no complaints about the hosts or the apartment itself.
