Marilyn and Del's place was absolutely perfect for our stay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood very close to the River Arts District and just a quick drive to downtown. Everything was clean, the beds and furniture were super comfortable, check-in was easy and we had plenty of room. We didn't use the backyard, but it's an awesome space. Lots of room and lots of green. We appreciated the extra touches: coffee, tea and creamer, bubbly for all ages in the fridge, rockers on the back porch and Del's delicious welcome brownies. We had everything we needed but it was nice that Del stopped by to be sure we were all set. He gave us some great Asheville tips. Communication from start to end was top-notch -- prompt and thorough, so there were no surprises. I fact, I got to town later than expected on check-in day and Marilyn called me to be sure I wasn't lost :). I highly recommend Marilyn and Del's place!
