Mary's place is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed a month while my husband "worked from home". The second bedroom made a nice office for him. The location is excellent. It's a 15 minute walk to West Asheville and all the shops & restaurants there. It's also only a 20 minute walk to downtown Asheville and 10 minutes to the River Arts District(it's even closer to the New Belgium brewery). The neighborhood is great to walk around and the neighbors are friendly. We loved our stay and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
