Marianne was very instructive and helpful while still being relatively hands-off, which we thought was a plus. That is to say, it felt like it was our place while we were there, not like anyone was standing over us which could be a concern for a duplex. The space had all the accommodations one would need for a comfortable stay and was a pleasant walking distance from downtown. We visited during the week, but the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to someone who was looking for a well priced, no frills option near downtown Asheville.
