3 C’s. Charming, Convenient, and Comfortable

We loved this house! It was so convenient to downtown restaurants and activities. It was extremely comfortable, both furnishings and beds. There were so many helpful amenities. The house was also exceptionally clean. It was an overall charming home that we would definitely rent again.

Property was perfect for our family gathering of 4 couples!Comfortable bedrooms for all and great common area of living room and beautiful kitchen which was new and fully appointed with provided coffee grinds for am, snacks and cookware. Very communicative host who responded in 1 hour with 2 boxes of new wine glasses which went missing from the home. And easy walk to restaurants, breweries and activities.Great home!

Simply the best

First time visitor to Raleigh. I loved this house and its location. Convenient to downtown, museums were close by and a number of restaurants. Very quiet at night. Gayla was a fantastic host, responded to every question I had within minutes, very reassuring that any issue (there were none) would be addressed immediately. Five stars, I'd give six if I could.

An Excellent Group Stay 5 Mins from Everywhere

This was an excellent property to stay at and had more than enough room for me and 7 other family members. A beautiful restoration on this early 20th century house that had a lot more charm than you'd get at any of the downtown hotels. The kitchen and grill were handy when we didn't feel like eating at a restaurant. My only complaint is the parking situation may be tricky if you have more than 1 or 2 cars: 1 driveway spot then 2 hr street parking (during the weekdays) for any additional cars. However I know that comes with the territory of having a house downtown! Overall a great stay.

There is a fire station near this property. The first day/night we were there they went on several runs from 6pm to 12:30am. The noise didn’t bother the adults in our house but it is something to consider. The host was very responsive to this next issue, there was a homeless person right next to the house in the bushes in the private lot adjacent to the house. Though the host was very responsive to my messages, there was nothing she or the police could do about the situation because the person was on private property and not causing a disturbance. They did stop on the sidewalk and stand in front of the house the first night and watch as we entered the house around 10pm. It definitely made us feel uneasy arriving later in the evening back to the house. The kitchen was newly renovated, the bathrooms were nice, the bedrooms had newer furnishings but not updated. The house is older and had an old house smell, if you are sensitive to smells it may be a problem. We saw quite a few bugs, ants, ladybugs, cockroaches - it is an old house with lots of cracks so bugs are expected. There is central air but there are 2 window a/c units - one upstairs and one in the living room. The house is advertised as with Historic Oakwood in the name, this house is not in the Oakwood district, it is a couple blocks outside this area.
