Johanna’s place was nice. I stayed for 33 days. She was out of town for most of my trip but was nice when I saw her. I would give the place 6.5/10. Pros: location! Johanna’s house is close to everything. Lots of restaurants, close to downtown! I like how Johanna provided pots and pans. She had a lot of dishes we could use which was very helpful. There is adequate parking. Again great location. It’s by a golf course so it is nice for taking walks. Gas station is within walking distance from the house. I had a good stay. It was cheaper than other air bnbs in the area but it was still pricey. I paid about $1,512 for a month stay. With the way Asheville is, I think I got lucky. I had awesome housemates 😊 The bed is very comfortable!
The room I was in was a littler older. Not a bad place, just an older home. There’s a few cobwebs here and there but lots of space for storage. She uses compost so that was different for me. Be mindful that the room is right next to the kitchen so you can hear everything that goes on it the kitchen. It’s also above the washer/dryer in the basement so I could hear it if someone did late laundry. The room does not have a lock on it, just a latch. So request a pad lock. As I mentioned to Johanna, I would suggest the room having a lock just to feel safe and so that I know my things are secure if I'm away. Also the shower cleaning. It was maybe cleaned once in my one month stay. I understand that I'm the only one using it but it's nice to have that peace of mind that it’s being cleaned weekly. I clean my shower once a week at home even though it's just me. But everyone is different. Also it is helpful letting us know which shelf is for the guests just so we don't impede on her space. 😊 When I arrived the blanket and some of the pillows were stained. I texted Johanna and she was apologetic about it. That was the only thing I was uncomfortable with at first. I would also suggest a higher limit than one load of laundry a week. It’s hard if you like to separate lights, darks, and white clothing. Thanks Johanna. I hope my review is helpful to all !
