Mary was a very welcoming and helpful host. My partner and I were on bicycle, but she gave some great resources for food and how to navigate Asheville. Her property is quiet: a hidden gem from traffic and the downtown area, but easy to access the art and beer district, as well as other charming local shops and natured areas. Her porch is a great spot to sit and read with tea/coffee or have a nightcap with a friend after sunset.
