First things first, Asheville was a wonderful destination! Isaiah and his family made things all the better with their hospitality and wonderful space. I was able to communicate an early luggage drop-off with Isaiah prior to our arrival and when the rest of our luggage was "misplaced" at the airport, we were able to get it delivered to the property later that day without a hitch! The home itself was beautiful and had just about everything we needed. A clean shower, full-sized fridge, a pull-out couch, a full-sized bed with sheets/pillows/blankets, an awesome a/c unit, and a huge tv for late-night binging. The neighborhood is equally beautiful and within walking distance of multiple historic inns, a local Jamaican restaurant, a corner store for any extra essentials, and my favorite, the riverside cemetery (an awesome morning walk for all you fellow weirdos or architecture nerds). For those of you looking to venture around without a vehicle, the bus system is a breeze and a mere 10 min walk to the nearest bus stop. The bus itself was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and the drive itself was less than 15 mins. to downtown. I also want to note that I was pleasantly surprised to find that Asheville itself was a sort of liberal pocket within North Carolina and I was made to feel very comfortable and welcomed my entire stay. I would highly recommend this as a southern destination for my fellow LGBTQ+ and POC travelers. I hope your time in Asheville will be just as great as mine was! Thank you Isaiah and family, you were amazing hosts.
