Welcome to your downtown Raleigh home away from home. Just a short walk to the heart of downtown , this updated, basically new, bungalow is a great place to relax and enjoy your stay. Just 4 blocks from Transfer Co Food Hall, very close to other restaurants and other downtown destination. Whether you're looking to enjoy the museums, attend a wedding, enjoy entertainment at Memorial Auditorium or anything else downtown has to offer, this is a great place to stay.

I am available for questions and usually respond right away but definitely within an hour unless it’s an unusual circumstance. I would be happy to meet you in person, if that's what you would like, but I've found that most guests like the ease of keyless entry check-in and just communicating as needed throughout their stay.

This is a downtown property with small lots and new homes and older homes - very nice neighbors! There is an entrance to John Chavis Memorial Park just across the street so there can be some light foot traffic walking by from time to time. The park has recently been updated including a sprawling playground with a tree house-like structure with long slides and lots of opportunities for kids to climb and scramble and a large sprayground where dozens of jets shoot water from the ground. It also is to be home to a carousel (still part of renovation). With proximity to the center of downtown, there are lots of restaurants and entertainment venues within walking distance. The closest grouping of restaurants can be found just 4 short blocks away at the Transfer Co Food Hall. You will definitely want to check out their website to see the variety of food options!

There is a driveway for a single car parking and space in front of the house for another vehicle. Guests can also park on the street where there is space. You can drive to areas outside of downtown and even within downtown if you want to get there faster with many paid parking options (many are free at night). But you can get around by walking to many restaurants and entertainment venues in downtown Raleigh. There is Citrix cycle and bike share available as well as Gotcha scooter share rentals. You just need to download the appropriate app to get pricing and details.
