Sorry your stay was not as expected. We outline out accommodations clearly and outline that the unit will only sleep 5. We offer this mostly for families with small children. We have a queen bed, a queen sleeper sofa, a twin blow up mattress, and a travel crib. In the future I would suggest you fully read the listing detail and reach out with questions. We are always available. Our unit is newly outfitted 750 square feet with 7 windows and a huge covered porch. I would not describe it as small or outfitted, rather intentional and a welcoming space.

We loved our time here. The rental has everything you need. Even little touches like a bluetooth speaker so you can listen to music while enjoying the back porch. We saw so much wildlife from the deck: a mom and baby deer, groundhog, rabbits, birds, squirrels and even a beautiful cat. The location is perfect. We loved the West Asheville vibe. So many coffee shops so little time. We have a list of several still to try on our next visit. The neighborhood is so quirky and quiet. The VRBO is exactly as pictured. The communication and instructions were so clear and easy. It is so close to everything: River Arts District, West Asheville’s Haywood Rd., Downtown, the Biltmore Village, the Botanical gardens. We loved the back porch my husband painted on the deck while I read on one of the hammock chairs. Sitting on the hammock chairs at night watching the stars was so relaxing. We highly recommend this rental. The hosts were very nice and responsive.

This lovely little downstairs apartment was in a super-convenient neighborhood. All of the activities we did during our stay were nearby. The deck looking out onto the woodsy backyard was an especially enjoyable spot to relax and unwind. We loved the hammock swings! The neighborhood was quiet and we hardly noticed that we were in the basement with a family living above. The apartment was just the right size for two people. Communication with our host was very easy and parking was right next to the house. We enjoyed our stay very much!
