The Space:
Enjoy the freedom of this open-concept loft, allowing easy transitions from space to space. The retro decor perfectly complements the vibe of the Duke campus area. Enjoy a cup of coffee with a view from breakfast nook, or take in a movie in the cozy living room as you rest your feet after a day of exploring downtown Durham.

There are holes in walls, needs paint, over-charged

The unit does not look like photos online. The walls are messed up, the remote to AC did not work, the blinds, paint job are all in very bad shape. There are several holes in the walls. The carpet is old and needs cleaning. I do not recommend this unit if those things matter to you. And the response by the management team was horrible.

Our Durham stay

This was a great location and a comfortable stay. It is a very walkable neighborhood. It would have been good to know the letter on the address and that was the only communication I would have improved the initial check in process.

Weekend Away

We came into town for a wedding, and this was the perfect place to stay! We were always less than 10 minutes away from everywhere we needed to be! The property was nice and comfortable! We had a busy weekend, and it was a nice place to wind down. I wish we stayed longer to explore more of the area!

College visits

We were coming from out of state to visit Duke and UNC. This was a perfect location, close to everything and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The open concept and close quarters may have gotten to be too close for our family of 4 if we stayed longer, but super cute and unique for our 3 day stay! Highly recommend!!!!

Cute and Great Location

It’s a lovely condo in a lovely neighborhood. Plus I was able to walk to town through Duke’s east campus, a real pleasure. The condo was spotless and the host was very accessible and patient with my questions.
