Joel's place was located in beautiful surroundings and we absolutely loved soaking in the views from the French windows in the living room.
The unit was airy, spacious and well-lit even though we were entering winter. There's also an adequate kitchenette where you could fix some quick simple meals. Unlike other places with kitchenettes, Joel provides you with enough tableware to eat at home, if you so choose. If not, downtown AVL was just a 10 min drive away. There was also Geraldine's Bakery closer by, and we loved picking up our breakfast from there in the mornings.
In short, a perfect place to decompress.
