Wonderful location and accommodations for our family
We were excited to come home and visit friends as well as let our kids attended camp for the week! This home was perfect for the entire family and had great space so I could work from home during the week.

From the owner: "Thank you, Claudia! You guys were great, thank you for taking good care of our place, we would love to host you again!"
Nice place, decent location, tough checking and parking
Place is clean, well appointed and spacious. Parking was a challenge when the units are full and we had a check in snag that wasn’t great but it was resolved quickly. Location is close to a few nice restaurants and easy access to Duke activities.
We had great stay at the rental. The bed were on the softer side and the blinds were not darkening. The shades during the day this make the unit bright and lovely. At night my preference would be a little darker.The location is great. I walked to Duke Gardens. It is right behind Foster's Market. This is a great brrakfast lunch place. The unit was quiet even being so close to local businesses.It was a great visit.
This vrbo is brand new and spacious. All the furniture was comfortable, including the beds. All the bedrooms were very good size and the master was huge. 3 full bathrooms too!! ts in a residential neighborhood with small ranch style and Apts. We walked in the neighborhood. A few blocks away are a few restaurants that abut the neighborhood you can walk to. One had a wonderful bakery with the best croissants etc..Everything was wonderful about this Vrbo, if we are in the area again we will stay here.
Very easy door lock- the best we've seen. This unit is a very new, very nicely decorated three bedroom two floor apartment located very close to campus, downtown, and with some walkable options. Guglhupf is just a few minutes' walk out the back gate. There's also a coffee place, Fosters, but we didn't go there.The building is so new that navigation couldn't get us there directly. Bur we found that Midvale to Bedford got us there. There was a mention of covered parking but that wasn't so.
