Please excuse our neighborhood's projects - It seems the housing boom has hit our little downtown neighborhood which has created several renovation and new construction projects. What this means is that there may be commercial vehicles parked in the street and the sound of busy workers during business hours.

Quick Trip to Downtown Raleigh

The “Modern Backyard Studio” is perfect for a quick weekend away! The owner, David, was amazing, ensuring we were able to check in early as we had an event later that evening. Would absolutely recommend this cute and affordable studio for your next getaway!

Quick mother/daughter trip

My daughter and I came to Raleigh for a concert and quick mother/daughter trip. This little studio is ideally located in Raleigh with easy access to Durham as well. The place is just as described in the listing and located in a safe neighborhood within short drive to restaurants, etc. Highly recommend for two who don’t mind sharing a bed.. We were within
