Joel's place was the perfect one for our mini vacation and respite from the past year of isolation and limits. We love Asheville and the mountains and have stayed at a number of Airbnbs in the area. All were very good but Joel's was the best all around that we have visited. It was well located to all of our favorite places to eat, hike or sightsee and was wonderfully decorated in a minimalist style that I appreciate with the added bonus of furniture that was handcrafted from local reclaimed wood. Yet it felt homey and cozy, especially with the fireplace for the cooler evenings. Joel is a helpful, informative and friendly host and it was a pleasure to meet and interact with him. Everything went smoothly, we felt very much at home, and Joel's' place is at the top of our list to return to and to recommend. to others.
