Joann is a wonderful ambassador for Airbnb! She is a warm, engaging host who loves helping people learn about Asheville. On the day that I arrived, she gave me a driving tour of downtown Asheville and took me to an evening storytelling performance with friends. As a first-time visitor to Asheville, Joann’s insights helped me plan a week that was a great mix of arts and outdoor time.

Her home is a peaceful cottage nestled in a cozy, green neighborhood in West Asheville. The bedroom is spacious, very comfortable, and pretty and the bed was super-comfy. Joann’s house is charming and reflects her creativity. It’s a 15 minute drive into downtown for art, music, and history. There are neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops five minutes from her house. I deeply enjoyed staying with Joann. I feel like a made a new friend!
