Jake was a wonderful host! He was very easy to get a hold of and met us right when we arrived to share information about the apartment and recommendations for Asheville. He also provided ample information prior to our arrival about local attractions and had an excellent guidebook with upon arrival. He continued to be available throughout our stay and was very attentive. The apartment is the nicest we've stayed in on airbnb and was equipped with everything we needed. The bed is extremely comfortable. There is not much soundproofing between the upstairs where they live, so we did hear their dog moving about and barking occasionally. It didn't bother us much, but if you are a light sleeper it may. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!
