The good: Location is great, in a historic neighborhood and walkable to diner next door, grocery stores, and downtown Asheville. The cottage is adorable with a bedroom, office, living room, updated bathroom, well-stocked eat-in and updated kitchen, and a small fenced backyard. The bad: This place would be 5 stars if it were properly cleaned. There was pet fur everywhere (in the bedding, on the floor, on the couch, on the countertops, in the bathroom). I reached out to the owner and they offered to come and vacuum, but what it really needs is an overall deep cleaning. The refrigerator interior, kitchen window frame, and toaster were covered with food residue. The dishes, pots, pans, cups, and silverware were put away in the cabinets dirty, and needed to be cleaned before using. There was human and dog hair all over the bathroom (floor and shower walls). I do hope they take the time to do a proper cleaning because it is the only issue with this house.
