Great Property, i travel a lot for business and this was so nice vs hotel. I almost dont want to post a review so itll be available next time i want to stay
This was a very comfortable, clean and conveniently located apartment. It was everything I needed for a short four-day stay. It was also very reasonably priced - less than an inexpensive hotel room with the comforts of home.

Thank you for staying with us! We hope to host you again next time!
The apartment was a nice size for two people- any more than that and I would have felt cramped. The fridge/freezer was not sized for leftovers or much more than some drinks and basics. The provided pans, glasses, and flatware were clean and easy to locate. We did notice that a door that looked like it went to a different unit had a lock on it that was broken off and the group staying above us seemed to not be aware/care that there were people below them. If you’re used to living under someone else then it’s a non-issue but if you aren’t used to it you may have noisy neighbors. We enjoyed our stay and how close we were to downtown- we spent a rainy day walking through town and checking out the sites!
We had a great, very comfortable, stay at this apartment. Fully equipped kitchen, and beautiful bedroom. High level of cleanliness and we loved the decor. Lovely back garden view.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen, beautiful bedroom, and lovely back garden view. It’s great to know you appreciated the cleanliness and decor! We’d love to host you again anytime! 🏡✨
This was a great place to stay while visiting Elon University. It was a 10 min drive to campus and walking distance to two beautiful parks. It is a basement apartment so we could hear people walking above us at times but wasn’t an issue for us. The apartment is small but very cute. My husband and I felt like we had enough room and it was much more comfortable than a hotel stay.

great guest and a pleasure to host! We would certainly welcome back such a lovely visitor anytime. Happy Travels!
Upon arriving we pulled out the sleeper bed and there was a dead bug on the sheets. The sheets looked and smelled dirty, like someone else’s BO. You could clearly see that the sheets had not been changed from a previous stay. The extra blanket and pillows in the closet didn’t look or smell any better. Coffee maker didn’t work, no hair dryer supplied which was on the listing. We contacted the host and sheers were provided, but the coffee maker and hair dryer were promised to be delivered the next day and were not. We stayed 5 days and the coffee maker and hair dryer finally showed up the day before we left. One day we came back to the property there was black scum that had come up out of the tub drain and then the drain was clogged. I asked the host several times for a partial refund, and got generic auto text replies stating ‘the team’was looking over everything and that he would get back to me. He never addressed my request for a refund. I was asking for a discounted rate or partial refund, not a full refund. I was in communication almost every single day I was on vacation, which took away from precious time with my family. It was a very frustrating experience. The host stated an update about his decision for a refund would be updated before my stay ended, and he never updated me. So, no refund or discount was issued. I would never stay here again, but who ever stays here after me, should at least have a coffee maker that works and a hair dryer.

We believe that the best way to experience a new place is to live like a local, and we've designed our home to provide just that - a warm, inviting space where you can immerse yourself in the authentic Burlington lifestyle. As your hosts, we're dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of exceptional, and we're always happy to share our insider tips on the best local spots to eat, drink, shop, and explore.
Why they chose this property
We chose Burlington's historic district for its unparalleled charm, rich history, and vibrant community spirit. Living just a stone's throw from the serene Arboretum Park, we're surrounded by stunning architecture that tells the story of our city's past, while also being just a short walk away from the best that modern Burlington has to offer. The neighborhood is a true gem, offering a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. We love the friendly faces, the locally-owned shops and cafes, and the sense of belonging that comes from being part of such a tight-knit community. It's the kind of place where you can't help but feel at home, and we knew it would be the ideal setting for creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.
