Great location for the price but wouldn’t recommend for anyone who is on vacation.
Pros:
- Great location: We were about 5 - 10 minutes away from everything we wanted to do.
- Clean: No complaints on the cleanliness. There were a few spiders but nothing too crazy.
- Amenities: Everything was stocked including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. However, there were no extra sheets for the other beds like it states in the listing, just blankets.
Cons:
- Quiet Hours/ Noise: After you book, the quiet hours are listed as 10pm to 7am. This means that the family above you does not have to regulate their noise after 7am. If you want to sleep in past 7, I would recommend looking somewhere else because you can hear the people upstairs through the floor. I’m not just talking about loud noises like if they drop something. You can clearly hear conversations, walking, alarms/ toys, and children. There was one toy, I’m assuming it was a toy or alarm, that went off 4 minutes till midnight every night. You can easily hear the child upstairs singing or any other friends that they have over. I’m sure that the same goes both ways, meaning they can definitely hear whoever is downstairs. We were playing board games one night and I received a text from the host to quiet down because we could be heard. We were already aware that the ceiling lacked insulation, so we were trying to control our volume. Once I got this message we starting whispering and did so if we were ever in the place after 10pm. This put everyone on edge and made everyone less comfortable for the remainder of the trip.
- Alleyway/ Driveway: The alleyway you need to drive up to get to the stay is filled with potholes so I would not recommend taking a low riding vehicle.
- Glass Door: The front door is entirely glass, without blinds. Our guests sleeping on the couch complained of the light and lack of privacy. Five guests? I wouldn’t recommend more than 2.
- Bathroom: The bathroom wall does not entirely extent to the ceiling, so you become very aware of your friends bathroom habits. This made many people in our group uncomfortable.
Overall our stay was not bad. The place is clean and is in a good location if you want easy access to Asheville. However, the noise issue and quiet hours outweigh the pros. You will not be able to stay up past ten without being heard, and there isn’t a chance you’ll sleep in. If you’re an early riser, this is a good place for you.
