Weekend Getaway

My husband and I had a nice stay at this property. It is very quaint and decorated nicely. It’s all we needed for the weekend. The bed was comfortable and the sheets smelled so clean! You cannot really hear the family in the adjoined home. You only hear occasional footsteps. So that was good. WiFi was a bit difficult to work on our devices but that was not a necessity for us as we were trying to escape the crazy of life. Sheila was easy and wonderful to work with. She was very helpful and responsive. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay.

Quiet Safe Neighborhood

My main priority was finding a quiet place good for sleeping, and this rental provided that. The bed was comfortable, the owner who lives above, was away most of the time, so it was very quiet. Parking was off street, and Sheila left towels, coffee and breakfast items for our first morning. The decor was shabby chic. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and approximately 2 miles walk to downtown Durham. The negatives for me, we could not control the heating and placed a couple of texts to owners to adjust, but then just attempted to adjust by covering heating vents, or using extra blankets depending on temperature. Also, the wi-fi was spotty, Sheila indicated the modem had been turned off by accident, but the TV and WiFi was still slow. The lock on the door was also challenging, as Sheila said “put your hip into it” to get the door to lock. The property was cute and worked for our purpose.

Perfect Place to Recover

A friend needed a place to recover from surgery and this gem was the perfect place. It was more space than a hotel room and as comfortable as home. Sheila and her husband were the perfect hosts and very accommodating for our arrival and departure. Definitely a perfect place to stay!
