This apartment is ideal if you’re young and less choosy about places to stay. It’s in a nice location and gets the job done if you are just looking for a place to crash while you’re having fun in Asheville.
However, if you have a family and will be staying in the unit for a while it may not be the best value to you. The kitchen doesn’t have a lot of utensils or even a hood vent. The unit had not been deep cleaned in a while and there was dust under furniture and some spider webs by the living room outlets. It hasn’t been updated in a while either, so you’ll encounter things like a well-worn floor overdue to be refinished. Again, not usually a big deal but if you’re expecting a more upscale feel this isn’t it.
The last thing that left a really bad taste in our mouth was what happened after the stay. We accidentally scraped the wall while trying to fit our baby crib in the small bedroom. We patched the hole with spackle and sanded it and primed it for her to help make it right. We called the owner and told her we were sorry and that we would pay for repairs. She filed a claim for an over-the-top windfall amount. Airbnb is now involved and investigating. Not a good way to come back from vacation. We wished we would have chosen a better place.
