Overall, this was a 3-star experience for me. The hosts were excellent, they let us check-in early and check-out late, but the listing description was just completely misleading. "Studio apartment in the heart of Asheville" is just not accurate whatsoever.
This was a guest suite that the owners (Morris’s mother) made inside of their private home on top of a mountain outside of Asheville, no where close to "heart." It took about 10 minutes to get down the mountain since the roads aren't paved, small, winding and tons of pot holes so you have to go 15 MPH. Then it's another 5-8 minutes to get to the "heart" from there.
Unfortunately the suite had no windows except for of the driveway so no, the view didn't make up for it. No pictures in the listing even show the outside of the home which completely threw me off, thinking that this was an apartment. Additionally it was SO tough to get to, even our local Lyft drivers had no idea where we were. We stayed for one night and had to walk down the street to flag them down on two separate occasions just so they could find us.
Overall I was disappointed. Yes, the inside of the suite looks exactly as pictured, yes, it’s nicely decorated and all the supplies you’ll need are provided, yes the hosts were very nice, responsive and accommodating but I just can’t walk away with a 100% satisfaction since I felt like I was misleaded.
It’s a very cute place its just not an “entire home” or “in the heart” at all, so just be warned before you think you’ll end up saving money by staying here, then rack up another $65 in Lyfts like I did just for one night.
