My trip to Lynn & Jake's place exceeded all of my expectations. The one-bedroom department was beautifully and comfortably furnished, exactly as described but better. Jake's communication before and during the trip was helpful, timely, warm, and thorough; it seemed tailor-made to make my trip better than I had planned. The apartment itself has an exclusive patio area, perfect for reading and staring out into the lovely wooded area around it. The location is ideal: away from the bustle, surrounded by trees, quiet, but still very close to downtown, Biltmore, etc.

Jake and Lynn are wonderful hosts.
They were the perfect combination of welcoming and accommodation; always available and ready to help without ever being obtrusive. Upon my arrival they had left delicious homemade pumpkins seeds in the living room. Jake provided helpful recommendations via text message whenever I asked. He even brought down a cup of hot tea when I wasn't feeling well.

As they mention in their listing, part of the "deal" is a hand-crafted breakfast by the one-and-only Jake. The food was outstanding (I chose Jake's "proprietary blend" hot cereal), but even better was the company. While they make the breakfast available to be dropped off on your doorstep, I chose to spend the morning in their kitchen above the apartment. The hour we spent together was an incredible joy, filled with wonderful conversation and incredible coffee.

My time here was my first experience with Airbnb, and it simply superb. I hope to return with my wife to enjoy both the apartment and the company of my new friends, Lynn and Jake.
