Wonderful Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay in this Durham Bungalow. It was perfect for our group! It was close to everything and nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house itself was so cute and we would definitely return the next time we are in Durham!

This is such a great home! Before arriving, we received a list of local businesses to try such as restaurants, bars, shops, etc. which was so helpful. Upon arriving, we were instantly pleased with the home. It is decorated beautifully, is very clean, and it provided everything we needed in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. The neighborhood feels safe and is extremely close to Duke University (which was the reason for our visit). The host was responsive and super friendly. Check in and check out was easy. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

We have stayed at a number of properties the past two weeks and this one was by far the BEST and far exceeded all expectations! The home is very clean and cozy. Everything even down to the light switches were clearly marked so we had no questions at all as to how to find anything or operate anything within the home. The decor was beautiful and felt very cozy. The location was excellent. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Would love to stay here again and my two teenagers agree!
