Timo's apartment was exceptionally clean with many nice unexpected touches. Timo obviously goes out of the way to present accurate photos, descriptions and nice touches to make guests feel welcome. We never met, or saw, anyone else coming or going upstairs and felt like we had all the privacy we needed. There are common outdoor spaces but it was so cold we didn't use them. Had the weather been nicer we would have loved to sit outside in the beautiful garden area. While the house is on a well traveled road, the apartment was very quiet. We weren't bothered at all by road noise or any noise from surrounding homes/neighbors. The apartment was an easy drive to any part of Asheville and an easy Uber ride to downtown if you don't feel like dealing with parking. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
