Our experience was everything Rafael & Linda promised - and more! The place was SPOTLESS, the layout comfortable, the mountain views from the great room and master bedroom breathtaking, and the accessibility to West Asheville night life unmatched - a mere 5 minute walk away! We stayed with another couple and never felt we were on top of each other; plenty of space to spread out and not be in each other's way. The kitchen area was open and perfect for entertaining, and the appliances were modern and easy to operate. All the "stuff" you need for a weekend stay (that you don't think about beforehand), like napkins, trash bags, a cork screw, a cutting board, cups, coffee filters - even plastic storage bags and tupperware-type containers - were readily available in a kitchen drawer or cabinet, just like home. The sofa, love seat and sitting area furniture was inviting and easy to relax on - without the feeling of disturbing another person's home. The stunning views and natural light during the day brightened everything, while the adjustable lighting and retro fixtures gave the place a warm, comfortable glow in the evening. Finally, the prompt, clear communications and detailed instructions left by the owner were invaluable, as were his recommendations for local sights and sounds (...and the six-pack of local beer and breakfast pastries left for us were an instant hit!). BL: This was the first Airbnb experience for both couples, and Rafael and Linda have set the bar pretty high for our next experience!
