My husband and I (and our 1 year old puppy) had a wonderful and relaxing stay in Stacy's home while visiting our son who lives in downtown Raleigh. This house was absolutely perfect for us - just as adorable as the pictures show, tons of homey and comfortable touches, and very thoughtfully and practically outfitted. Though situated on a high traffic street, the completely fenced yard gave us privacy and a sense of security with our dog, and road noise was minimal (almost like white noise). The surrounding neighborhood, especially to the north and east, are walkable and beautiful. The location is also perfect, within 5-10 minutes of almost anything you'd want to do in Raleigh, and easy access to the highway. We've rented a lot of homes over many years, and this one was one of the best. For example, a full spice drawer, lots of oils and seasonings in the pantry, plenty of cleaning supplies, aluminum foil, ziploc bags, etc. - all things you hate to have to go and buy when you arrive when you know you won't use much. Stacy really put thought into how people live while on vacation - closets are well organized, lots of hooks for towels, jackets, leashes, etc. We would absolutely stay here again!
