Absolutely lived staying here. Such a cute, comfortable place within walking distance of fun restaurants and shops. We hope to stay here many times in the next four years!
We stayed here for 2 weeks as my mother had surgery at Duke Medical and Recovery afterwards. It is very convenient to do medical and the home is absolutely beautiful. The walk-in shower was perfect everything worked wonderfully. We had no issues while staying here. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We did not get to enjoy the back porch as it was too hot, but the rest of the home more than made up for it. We would highly recommend staying here. Communication was fantastic, and everything was as described. Should the need arise, we will definitely be back here.
Thank you for a nice stay, the only wish would be for then 1 bath towels and wash cloth per bathroom. Other then that we give you another 5 stars Thank you and we will see you soon
Super cute and clean bungalow convenient to everything Durham has to offer. This was my second time staying here which tells you how much I enjoy this place.
The location is very good if you’re heading to Duke for any reason. It’s also close to the downtown for restaurants. The house is very clean and the host is very responsive.
Lovely, clean, well-appointed bungalow in a great Durham location - convenient to Duke University and downtown. The owner gave us an extensive list of restaurant, shopping and entertainment recommendations. The house was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable! Highly recommend! Will stay there again! A Thank you!
Very clean, comfortable house . We truly felt like we are home . Accurate listing and conveniently located to grocery stores and to the Duke hospital.Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.
This is such a great home! Before arriving, we received a list of local businesses to try such as restaurants, bars, shops, etc. which was so helpful. Upon arriving, we were instantly pleased with the home. It is decorated beautifully, is very clean, and it provided everything we needed in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. The neighborhood feels safe and is extremely close to Duke University (which was the reason for our visit). The host was responsive and super friendly. Check in and check out was easy. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!
We absolutely loved our stay in this Durham Bungalow. It was perfect for our group! It was close to everything and nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house itself was so cute and we would definitely return the next time we are in Durham!
Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. House has recently been renovated and work appears to be ongoing in the backyard Host communicates much helpful and relevant information/tips throughout stay…a great alternative to a hotel
Such a cute spot, and Dylan was very communicative. Would recommend! Walking distance to downtown if you want a leisurely stroll, otherwise 4 min drive
Our grandson was admitted to Duke and wanted us to join him for "Admit Day". We were able to walk to Duke, so the location was great. The bungalow was lovingly restored. Restaurants within walking distance.
The bungalow was fabulous, comfortable, spacious, and completely charming. It met all our needs. It was close to the Duke campus where we were attending a conference. I would definitely book this property again.
Clean. Beautifully designed. Spacious. I loved this place and would have liked to have stay longer! The screened in porch was also fantastic on a cool fall evening. It was super close to downtown (and to my fav sushi place - M Sushi!) and the communication with Dylan was excellent. Highly recommend.
Nicely remodeled, older home with two bedrooms and two and a half baths, and good flow. Small screened porch off back with table. Close into townAnd Duke University.
