We had a great trip. On our trip we first stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton downtown, then we stayed at Lily's air B&B for the second half. The Doubletree was approximately double the cost and closer to everything downtown, but everything else about this Air B&B was better than the Doubletree. If you are looking for a more local feel and less touristy Asheville vibe this is it. The house was very clean, shower was great, television had all the channels you could want. There's a ramen noodle restaurant within walking distance that was excellent.
