This is a good place for the value. It is very quiet yet very close to downtown Asheville and a good stop off point for explorations. The kitchen is well stocked and all the basics are provided. The bed rooms are small but functional. This would have received a 5 star, but the appliances are old (oven did not work) and should be updated, mattresses could use an upgrade, and a thorough cleaning looked like it hadn't been done in quite some time. It was basically clean and Mark did state that his cleaner was out of town during the time of our visit, but it looked with the level of cobwebs and bugs in some areas that a true deep clean had not been done for awhile. Maybe his cleaners just aren't doing a great job. I would stay again and Mark was great with communication and offered me a refund on the cleaning fee as I did my own.
