Honestly it was a beautiful spot. The house was way more than we needed but it was perfect. Clean, comfy and well equipped. The owner made himself available if we needed anything. We did not. Would stay again if needed.

Great Home to Stay
We had a wonderful time staying at this place in Durham. It was clean, comfortable and local to what we were doing during this trip. Easy to get in and safe as well! Perfect place for people visiting the Forest at Duke! We will request to stay here the next time we travel to Durham.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Small hitch checking in with the key code but quickly resolved on the phone. Met the owner and he was very nice. Convenient to Duke campus, which we appreciated.

Charming and comfortable
The house was very charming and comfortable. Clean and unique architecture. The beds were comfy. There is a wonderful outdoor porch we Enjoyed in the evenings . The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. . The owner of the home was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again.
The only negative aspect of the stay was that the keyless lock and entrance door did not work. It took numerous text exchanges and attempts before we could get the door open. (Caused us to be late to an event.) Otherwise, everything was excellent: pre-communication; convenience of location to Duke and UNC; cleanliness of home; necessary amenities, etc. Great value. I would stay here again … once the door is fixed. :)
