About this property

Sweet Suite - Close to Downtown!

Adorable 300 sq ft private studio suite within the house - living area, queen bed, kitchenette with table, bath, and back deck. Private entrance, no shared spaces.

Kitchenette has mini fridge, stovetop, microwave, and large sink.

One mile from downtown and walkable to Chavis Park as well as a greenway with e-bikes for rent!

***This is a single family home that has been divided into two separate rental units. Each unit is a separate private unit with it's own entrance, but the sound of footsteps and voices does travel easily between the units so I ask that guests please respect their noise level, especially after 10pm.***

I had a wonderful stay at Darla’s VRBO just outside downtown Raleigh. The location was perfect… close enough to enjoy everything the city has to offer, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and relaxing.The home was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed. You can tell Darla truly cares about guests. communication was easy, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive.It was the perfect balance of convenience and quiet, and I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Raleigh area!

Great Stay

Overall, it was a great stay and Darla was a lovely host. The unit itself is perfect for a nights rest and it had everything a couple could need for a few more nights as well. My only main issue were the tenants right next to me, in the connecting unit. Not to be a player hater but constantly hearing love making sessions especially at 8 in the morning was annoying. When we arrived it was the same issue. I mean if I'm going to pay to be here, and have to listen to that, I'd at least like the option to get to pick the participants that I'm forced to listen to-While we understood that we would be hearing some noises, we didn't know that the sounds would be that prominent. So while, the location and unit itself is in great shape, it did feel as if I was back in my beginner apartment where you could hear everything and it did damper the experience a bit.

I'm sorry you had to hear that Andrianna...yes, sound does travel very easily between the units and I hope to be able to figure out how to resolve that issue. I'm glad you enjoyed the stay otherwise...and I enjoyed hosting you.

Darla was a stellar host. Before we arrived she asked what brought us in town and provided a list of things to do and places to eat. Overall a great location, easily accessible, and very clean. A few times we saw her outside of the premises tending to the yard or the other unit. Nice to see someone take pride in there spaces. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!
