This is located a short drive from downtown Asheville. It’s in Woodfin, close enough for a 10-15 Uber ride but we tried to get grub hub delivery from downtown and they won’t deliver to Woodfin.
Upon arrival we leaned that the fireplace isn’t functioning, which was disappointing. The host did a thoughtful job decorating. Dishes must be hand washed so I recommend paper plates, cups etc. especially during COVID. There is an extra COVID cleaning fee and while okay, this place could use a deep cleaning, especially in corners, under the beds and the kitchen cupboards.
This is a walk out basement and the ceiling height was a little claustrophobic for my 6’4” husband. He needed to be very mindful of the ceiling fans. Despite a dehumidifier and lots of baking soda boxes it does have a basement smell.
Most of the apartment was comfortable except the large bedroom. It was freezing cold because there’s an outside door at the foot of the bed that needs weather stripping. The mattress in that bedroom really needs replacing - it is shot. The second bedroom (more like passageway to the kitchen and bathroom) had a comfortable mattress. You have to pass by the foot of the bed to go to the kitchen and bathroom. Because the passageway to the bathroom goes under the stairs there’s a motion light that goes on so you don’t hit your head. Unfortunately, that’s very disrupting if you’re trying to sleep and someone needs to use the bathroom.
I had a quick response from our host who gave me the code to the storage closet because the stores were closed and there was only 1/2 roll of Tp.
We had snow and were expected to shovel our side of the shared driveway. The worst thing is that drains from the roof flow right to the only entrance to this place. It was below 32 degrees and turned into a dangerous skating rink. We were told this was the only place we could park and when water drains and freezes by the car and the door - this could easily lead to serious injury.
