Marianne's City Serenity is a great find for visiting the City of Asheville. Between the afforability and location it is the ideal place to stay. We were able to walk from the house to pretty much anywhere in the city we wanted to go, and if we didn't feel like walking I don't think we ever spent over $10 on an Uber. You are able to be close to downtown while enjoying the feel and comfort of staying in a neighborhood.
The one thing to note is that this is the lower level of the house and there can be noise that can be heard from upstairs.
