David and Melissa's place is clearly oriented toward being a vacation rental. And if that's what you're looking for, this is definitely the place.
The space was clean and well furnished. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cooking tools. It's not as sunny as the pictures make it look - calling it a "basement apartment" versus the "lower floor" would be a little more accurate. But for a week, it was our home.
For us, my girlfriend and I are considering a move to West Asheville this year, and we wanted to see what it felt like to live as locals. This wasn't the right space for that. We tend to use AirBnb because we enjoy the personal touch of sharing somebody's space with them, something you don't get from a vacation rental or a hotel. Our check-in was preceded with a long addendum of rules coupled with fees and charges that would result from non-compliance. Among those were that we were expected to strip the bed, clean/dry/put-away all of the dishes, etc. We tend to do that as a matter of course anyway, but being charged a cleaning fee as part of the rental _and_ being explicitly told that not helping with the cleaning on checkout would be met with further fees? It felt like dealing with a property manager, not an AirBnb host.
And again, there's nothing _wrong_ with that - it's just not why we use AirBnb.
