My husband and I stayed at Mark's place for an anniversary trip. The space was just as described! The patio was beautiful with blooming flowers and cool mountain air. The bed and sofa were very comfortable. I was afraid we would feel cramped in the unit, but it was very spacious for the two of us. It is very close to many restaurants and hip places to grab a delicious coffee or beer. We took an uber ride for around $8 to the downtown area. Mark even gave us free Asheville t-shirts as souvenirs. He was available when we needed him but did not invade our privacy at all. I would highly recommend Mark's rental. For the location, space, friendly owner, and price...it is hard to beat!
