We stayed for 7 weeks, and would have stayed longer if we could have: It's a great house, in an excellent location, and there is no better host.
In stumbling distance is the Cellerest brewery, Battle Cat coffee, and Admiral. Within another three blocks and you're at the Whale, Haywood Common, One World, Early Girl, Taco Billy, Urban Orchard, Pizza Mind, OWL bakery... even New Belgium is walkable. Groceries are nearby, the RAD, South Slope, and downtown are all an easy 7 minute drive, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is perhaps 12 minutes away. In just a couple blocks you're at the interstate, giving you access to anywhere in, around, or outside of Asheville. It's a great place to be unless.... unless you meant to be in a different city.
The house is well equipped, and well laid out. It seems like a small point, but I was excited as soon as I saw the knife sharpener in the kitchen drawer--if you aren't bringing your own knives, you can still do real cooking. I was equally excited about the gas stove. And the mattresses are the best I've encountered at an AirBnB, and are better than what I have at home. The downstairs is an open plan, has 9' ceilings, and gets good sunlight--it feels very spacious. The front porch is a comfortable place to watch the neighbors walking their dogs in the afternoon and evening. (Be ready to wave back.) There's a modern Samsung TV for those evenings when you just want to stay in.
The hosts are rockstars. Super available, super communicative, super friendly--and super dedicated. There are no better hosts.
It was a great experience. You'll be happy here.
