Had a really enjoyable stay in Asheville. Me, my boyfriend, our dog Trixie, and my mom stayed at Michael’s place for 4 nights. The home is about 10 minutes from downtown Asheville and everything we drove to (the Biltmore, Craggy Garden Hiking trail, restaurants) were within 30 minutes which was great. The home is shared, so although your space is private, you walk through the home to get to the entrance. Something important thing to note is that the home is shared with other Airbnb guests (in their own suite/apartment) as well as Michael and his family. If you’re looking for complete privacy this may not be the place for you as Michael/his family are around, using the backyard, in the home with the door open etc. Michael and his family are friendly. You will also see clearly through the glass doors into the other space on the first floor as you walk through to the suite. At times it got a bit noisy in the middle of the night due to other guests above us, making it a little difficult to sleep. You also hear the running water in the walls every time they flush the toilet. The beds are very comfy though! Michael generally has a more lax approach to hosting. We mentioned the noise and it seemed somewhat like we were expected to speak to the other guests if it bothered us more. We also tried our best to keep our dog from running into the other part of the house (as the door was often open) or up to Michael’s family while they visited but they didn’t seem to mind. They also had dogs which ran out at times and into our suite but they were very sweet and playful. This wasn’t an issue for me but again just a more lax approach compared to other stays we’ve done. The space has everything you need from a kitchen with a stove, microwave, fridge, utensils, and cups to the living room space with a tv logged into streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu. The couch was comfy and after a long day of walking we enjoyed lounging out and relaxing. The hot tub was awesome and probably my favorite part about the place (in addition to it being pet friendly). Our dog enjoyed being able to run around the backyard and meeting the other dogs. Though we think some slight tweaks could be made to improve the space, overall we enjoyed our stay. Being a New Yorker (like Michael, as we learned through hanging out together in the backyard!) we’re used to being around others and sharing space so we would return again in the future!
