Comfortable Stay Close to Everything
We really enjoyed our stay here. It's clean, comfortable, and in a quiet neighborhood with quick access to restaurants, entertainment, and the highway. It was a relief to have a vacation rental that has blackout curtains so your sleep isn't disturbed by street lights or early sunshine. Meal prep was easy since cookware and cooking utensils were available and there were plenty of plates/bowls/cups/eating utensils. We appreciated a toaster being on hand and a K-cups machine as well as a drip coffee machine.We'd definitely recommend the cottage for travelers seeking comfortable accommodations that are close to everything Raleigh has to offer.
