Mark's studio is very cozy, aesthetically pleasing and clean. We were able to walk to west Asheville and enjoy the many good restaurants, cafes, pubs and breweries. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine was also a pleasant pastime. Downtown Asheville is a 20 minute bike ride and very quick drive. Based on Mark's numerous fabulous reviews we were not surprised by what we experienced. Highly recommend Mark's studio!
