Disclaimer: this was our first time staying in an Airbnb in which the host was also in the home.
Emily clearly takes great care to have a clean, cutely decorated apartment for her guests. We really appreciated how everything is labeled and directions/recommendations are clearly posted in the space.
Do know to keep your hand on the bathroom door while shutting it all the way, or it’ll slam. And if you’re sleeping in the main room, the glass door let’s in great sunset light, but also does not have a shade to close at night or while you’re out.
We could absolutely hear every step or movement upstairs (like other reviews mentioned, so we were warned), and no doubt could also be heard ourselves - we were careful to observe the quiet hours, and put our phones away and separated to our respective beds at 10p. There seemed to be a sleepover or get-together happening upstairs until well after, and we didn’t want to be “those people” telling kids to be quiet when they were clearly having a great time.
So, while we did end up relocating, we chalked it up to part of the adventure and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute location close to everything Asheville has to offer.
