This was a great value for us. The location is great - a short walk to Haywood Rd in West Asheville and super close to downtown. The room itself was clean and we really appreciated the keyless entry, the mini fridge, and the mini AC/fan unit. The common areas of the house were really messy and cluttered, which was ok for us but unexpected based on past airbnb experiences. Leah warned us that her family may be noisy, but that was not the case - we barely noticed there were kids around!
The biggest shock for us was that they had just gotten a new German Shepherd puppy which was not in the listing at the time we booked. I make a point never to stay anywhere with dogs, partially because I'm allergic, and partially because they're often noisy and we aren't great sleepers. On our first night we woke up to some barking/whining and a text from Leah. I was appreciative of the communication at that point, but it was frustrating because we were already settled in and didn't want to go through the hassle of finding a new place to stay or cancelling our booking.
