Kari communicated via email and / or text and made it so we could get in when we arrived. The private unit was as advertised. It is not connected to the owner's living area in any way except as the lower level of the house. Private entrance. The picture is what you see is what you get. It was a good value. The unit was clean and organized. It has a 3/4 size refrigerator, and 3/4 basic stove and a full sink. Lots of plates, cups, utensils, etc. There is a nice little bathroom and shower just opposite the bed. The location was on a residential street with a place to park your car and provided a private entrance at lower level around the back. This is a basement style unit but the entrance was at ground level. It is about 2 miles from downtown Asheville. It is well suited to where ever you want to go in the area. We easily drove to the Biltmore, Downtown, and the Sierra Nevada Brewery (which I all recommend.)

Kari was professional and pleasant.

The only thing to knock was the little gold couch and sitting chair. Both are pretty cool to look at but they are old, small, and not very comfortable. I understand the need for the 3/4 size couch because the place is small, but it was the one thing my wife and I both thought not up to snuff.

There is some upstairs noise, but as another reviewer said, it was normal family sounds (walking, muffled talking or music.) It did not bother me only because the previous viewer warned me and I chose not to worry about it. After all we were staying in someone's house! All sounds from above stopped at a reasonable hour so I was not disturbed while I slept. These sounds are not loud. Had I not known before hand about the sounds from above, I might have been a bit miffed. I am sensitive that way.

I would totally stay there again.
