The property was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable, and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect place to crash for a weekend while in town for a wedding. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Durham!

Bright, charming dog friendly studio

This was my 2nd stay and where my pups and I will stay anytime we are in Durham if we can secure a reservation. Great park 2 blocks away.Studio is clean, has everything a short stay needs, including dog bowls. Home is older with cool wood floors big on charm. The stairs creak but added to the charm and the bathroom was renovated and fresh.

Great option near Duke East Campus

Stayed here for Duke Family weekend, it is less than a mile from Duke East Campus. It was nice to have the large, sunny room and the coffee pot, refrigerator, and microwave to make breakfast in the morning. The neighborhood feels very residential, there are lovely craftsman homes on the surrounding blocks.

Go Duke!

We had a wonderful stay at the sunny efficiency on Gloria Avenue. The area was beautiful and we found the apartment to be very clean and comfortably furnished. The property location was near restaurants and shops. We went to a Duke game at nearby Cameron Stadium. My only complaint were the problems we had with the rental agreement link. Otherwise I would have given the property 5 stars. We will definitely book this property again when we're in the area.

Wonderful apartment

I was in Durham for 3 days and found this apartment to be great. Very clean and thoughtfully appointed with all the necessities you would receive in a hotel and more. The bed is comfy and the unit is really large. The neighborhood is loaded with historic homes that make for a scenic walk around. I also walked to downtown Durham twice for dinner and drinks. In my opinion, it is the best way to get a flavor for a city when you walk places. It felt very safe and their are sidewalks everywhere. It is a pedestrian/bike friendly area. The edge of Duke University campus is just a few blocks away and it is worth taking a stroll on the path they have around the campus. Overall, great experience staying here and I would come back here the next time I am in town.
