This may be our favorite Airbnb stay ever, and that's saying a lot as we've used Airbnb a lot over the past 10+ years.
First, the location is terrific. Just a few blocks walk to great restaurants, bars, Whole Foods & Trader Joes, and downtown Asheville just a few blocks more. In spite of that convenience, the immediate neighborhood is very quiet and lovely to walk around in. And a very short drive to the freeways out of town.
And the apartment is just wonderful. For being just two rooms (bedroom, and integrated kitchen/dining/living room), it feels spacious and very comfortable to hang out in. It's beautifully decorated, the furniture including the bed is very comfortable, and the whole thing just feels so well thought-out. Big TV with Roku, and a record player with a nice selection of vintage vinyl! And they left us some very nice treats in the fridge.
The kitchen is well-appointed with all you need to cook and bake, even for serious home cooks like us. Plenty of glassware, good knives, a toaster, toaster oven, microwave, blender, electric teakettle, dishwasher, and full-size fridge. A selection of teas and coffee, basics like sugar and oil and vinegar, etc.
While the hosts Jimmy and Jennifer live in the same house (this is a completely independent apartment in a house), we were barely aware when they were home, it's just that quiet. And they are SUPER friendly and responsive if you need to contact them. We saw Jimmy a few times, and he a very charming fellow and couldn't have been more gracious.
Not a single negative aspect to this lovely place. A joy to spend a week here on vacation. Our highest recommendation!
