We LOVED our stay! We have stayed in many short term rentals in Raleigh, and I have to say, this one was the best! The big plus for us was a completely fenced in backyard with a raised deck and grill, which we used during the unseasonably warm days. All the attention to details was much appreciated, i.e., coffee fixings, soap, shampoo, etc were all there. AND THE BED! There were 3, but we only used the master and it was heaven. White linens and towels were pristine. Pillows plump and plentiful. Bedside lamps had usb ports. Smart TV in living room worked beautifully. And it was QUIET. The neighborhood is economically mixed and definitely transitioning in places. Walkers of dogs, babies and exercise were abundant. A car is required to get into downtown and to PNC Arena, where we saw 2 Hurricanes games. I'd say the car into downtown would be for safety in late night, and the PNC Arena for distance. The house had all modern conveniences, with the charm of a mid-century ranch lovingly restored. We will definitely stay again if available for our dates! Many thanks to our hosts for easy communication and amenities provided, and for being dog friendly! Having our dog makes all the difference!
