Perfect for our purposes. We were visiting both UNC and Duke. It's essentially right in between the two. We were really only at the property to sleep. Not much of a neighborhood or not the kind of neighborhood we were interested in spending a lot of time.

This property was perfect for our visit to Duke Hospital. It is within 10 minutes of the hospital. It is in a quiet neighborhood and the other building residents are quiet and respectful of others. This property is close to numerous restaurants and shopping. The property was clean and comfortable.We would definitely stay here again!

2 night stay
Great location for travel to Duke and downtown Durham. One point of improvement are the couch cushions, two of which smelled like someone ran a half-marathon then immediately sat down to rest for an hour.

It was ok 👌🏾
Ok experience. Got there a little early. Owner seemed short and weird not very people oriented but overall the space is nice for a short stay. The shower was nice and hot so that’s a plus.

Duke visit
Clean, no odors, bed was average comfort. Grab bar in shower was loose and almost made me fall. Lock was unusual but function and no key to worry about. Decor was dated, an electric outlet didn't work. Ice maker worked good.

Great rental in Durham
Small 2 bedroom,1 bath was perfect for our 3 night stay. It was just 2 of us and our cat. Everything is new! And clean. One bedroom with a K and another with a Q and a small desk. My husband had a few questions right after we arrived and the owner responded immediately then came down and introduced herself.
