The house was amazingly clean and stocked with all you could need and so many nice details -- everything from high quality bedding and towels to iron, steamer and even makeup mirror. It's also warm and cozy and makes you feel at home. The owner is very helpful and provided great recommendations. Would definitely stay here again when in town visiting family and highly recommend to others.

The house is located in a nice neighborhood and was very nicely decorated and has a great layout. We enjoyed 3 nights there while visiting our daughter who lives in town. The fenced yard is great if you have a four-legger with you. We would definitely stay here again. Betty our golden doodle approved the place also! Check it out next time you are looking for a home in Raleigh.

We had a great experience at this property. The house was located in a great area for restaurants and shopping. It was also in a nice neighborhood that had plenty of sidewalks to walk our dogs. The house was one of the best equipped VRBO rentals we had used. It had all the amenities necessary for our week long stay as well as pet equipment for our dogs. Eric communicated with us proactively and also offered help while we were at the house. I would highly recommend this house for anyone staying in the Raleigh Durham area.

Upon arrival, we were greeted to a variety of snacks and bottled water in the refrigerator. Eric was also super responsive and very friendly. His check-in and check-out instructions were also very clear and easy to follow. We will definitely stay in Eric's home again when visiting Raleigh.
