The space was very nice and clean, the host was very responsive. The AC unit had a flashing purple light in it. The host explained that the light is a UV light to kill bacteria which makes sense but it cannot be turned off and for us at night when all the lights are off the flashing purple light was annoying.

Everything about this home was very clean and nice! The hosts were very kind and quick to respond for anything we needed! It was a good location for NC state football and only took us less than 10 minutes to walk to the stadium. The only thing we would change is adding curtains! There were multiple windows, some had blinds and some did not, but every car light would shine through and as soon as the sun started to come up, we were awake. Would recommend to anyone for a Raleigh stay!

The property was beautiful, clean, and perfect for our one night stay. We chose this property because it was within walking distance to the Lenovo Center. The walk is within a neighborhood with no sidewalks, not bad at all going durning daylight but the walk on the way home in the dark wasn’t easy as it’s hard to see. I ended up rolling my ankle because I didn’t see a hole in the grass. Nothing to do with the property at all, just something to be mindful of if you plan on walking to the Lenovo Center.
