To ensure transparency and clear expectations up front, please note the following for all of our properties:
- We are pet friendly BUT all of our guests do not have pets or appreciate pet hair. Therefore, we charge an extra $51.50 pet cleaning fee that is passed on entirely to our cleaning crew. This ensures that they spend the extra time removing any pet hair from linens and towels, spend extra time cleaning baseboard trim, wiping fan blades, cleaning HVAC filters, etc. If you do not select "Add Pet" when booking and you stay with a pet, the $51.50 cleaning fee will be requested from you at checkout. Please select Add Pet in your initial booking to avoid this interaction.
- We absolutely prohibit any and all smoking and drug use at our properties. This behavior makes it extremely difficult to turnover the unit for a new guest likely arriving the same day of your departure. If we find that you have smoked in our property, there will be an extra $200 cleaning fee, you will receive a negative review, and you will not be able to book at our properties in the future. This is a non-negotiable. Do not book if you plan to smoke.
- No parties allowed or loud music after 8pm. Many of our properties are connected duplexes and out of courtesy for neighbors, we ask that there be no gatherings or loud music or unauthorized guests not listed on the reservation. If family or friends are stopping by, please kindly let us know ahead of time .

I really appreciate that the space was simple and clean. The location has easy access to freeways. We loved the Museum of Life Science, it was 11 minutes away and a great way to spend time with kids.

The place is conveniently located and well-equipped but could use a little deco revamp.

Nice kitchen and bathroom. Everything was clean. Not the best location, one bedroom faces the house next door about 20 ft away.

Nice Unit
A couple of things, upon initially entry, the wall mounted TV was noticeably crooked/slanted. We sat and watched TV one of our nights there and it was distracting.
Nowhere to put luggage other than floor or bed or funiture. It would be nice to have a luggage rack.
The toilet appeared to be a little low. Although it may be normal height, maybe some thing a little higher for elderly and handicapped may be more practical. For someone dealing with a lower back injury, it was not easy to get on and off.
Also, I know very little could be done, but the whole unit appeared to be on a slight slant. So much so that the shower door would not stay closed, it slid open.
Other than that for the 2 days there, it was a comfortable stay.

Clean, comfortable, spacious and in a great location
THE SPACE:
My wife and I (and our 2 large dogs) were visiting family in Durham for the holidays and we couldn't be happier with this space. The inside of the property is a lot bigger than we expected and the beds were comfortable. Everything was thoroughly cleaned. The washer+dryer was an amazing addition though, as it allowed us to pack lighter since we were able to wash our clothes.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
It's in a residential neighborhood and it was great for going on walks with our dogs. Plenty of places to walk, felt safe, and people were friendly. Downtown Durham was less than a 10 minute drive away, so we could grab breakfast/lunch at any of the numerous restaurants and just explore downtown when we could.
SUMMARY:
All in all I highly recommend this stay. We'll definitely be using them again if they're available.
