This cute little bungalow was so perfectly appointed for a weekend lodging while we attended a seminar in the daytime. Clean and comfortable linens, bed, couch (would have been comfy to sleep on if we needed it). All amenities needed in the bathroom and kitchen for fixing the meals we had in (breakfast and heating up leftovers on Sunday), coffee and tea. I'm familiar with this neighborhood and chose it on purpose for proximity to Durham restaurants on foot and by car close to downtown, as well as enjoying a morning walk in the area. Also happy to have strong wifi for streaming needs. I could see bringing me dog to stay here with me another time!

Super cozy, charming home in a cute, walkable, safe neighborhood. My dogs were thrilled to get to walk everywhere. The home is in an ideal location, close to stores and restaurants.Everything was very clean with lots of amenities. It had everything I needed for my stay. It's clear the owner has put thought into making this a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. The owner is wonderful about communication and providing an easy check in process.I will definitely book this home again. I especially loved the cute front porch.

This property was described as a cozy bungalow. In actuality it was a duplex. It is an old multi family unit that has not been updated. The electric outlet has an adapter with several plugs coming out of it…fire hazard?? The evidence of mice. And the stench of cigarette smoke. Not acceptable.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Apr 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We take all guest concerns seriously, but we do need to clarify several inaccuracies in this review. First, the property is indeed a duplex, and this is clearly disclosed in multiple places within the listing description. Unfortunately, VRBO does not provide a specific “duplex” category, so the property is listed as a home, with explicit written clarification to ensure transparency for all guests. Regarding the claims about smoke odor, mice, and electrical hazards—these statements are simply not accurate. The home is regularly cleaned and inspected, and there has been no evidence of pests or lingering smoke odor. The outlet mentioned includes a standard adapter provided for guest convenience, not an unsafe or overloaded setup. It’s also worth noting that none of these concerns were brought to our attention during the stay, which would have allowed us the opportunity to address them immediately if they had been valid. We understand that plans can change, but we strive to represent our property honestly and provide a comfortable experience for all guests. We encourage future guests to review the full listing details to ensure the space meets their expectations.
