Come home- 1 mile from Duke & Downtown Durham

We had to make an emergency visit to Durham to visit a loved one in ICU. The situation was stressful but this home was mentally refreshing after a 10 hour drive. The host responded quickly to our request for a stay. The house is a nice size and only about 5 minutes from the hospital. It’s an older home but very well maintained and cleaned. The back yard is not large but nice size for a dog. The fence is also high enough for privacy. The community is quiet and neighbors friendly. We felt safe returning home from the hospital around 11 pm. The small church next to the house made us feel like we stepped back in time to a charming community. The house is also very well insulated for sound. Once you close the door you forget you are downtown. Very comfortable beds.

The place looked better in the pictures.

Great house to rent for a work stay. Spacious with the basic amenities covered. nice quite street. Would rent again.

The good things first: The overall area is fine, a mix of single and multi family units. The street itself is still in transition, so a few homes are well updated, some older but kept up and few in the midst of rehab. It felt very safe, safe enough for daytime walks. The location is only 5 min from the Duke cancer center and less to an entrance to the gardens. There are restaurants and a grocery within 5-7 min. But what you see in the photos is exactly what you get. Nothing more. The living/dining area is roomy. The beds are fine. The bathrooms are good enough. But everything is moderately beat up or done cheaply. Old cabinets painted over and needing to be cleaned. Stove and countertops not really clean. Vinyl plank flooring badly installed. Old backsplash tile in the kitchen edged with brand new, unmatched tile. Clear evidence of missing towel and toilet paper holders just painted over. Nails in bathroom walls also just painted over. Unrepaired dings in some walls. No sense of decorating efforts to make the spaces welcoming. We had to ask for kitchen lights because none were functioning. We left it cleaner than we found it, but we slept well and kept our medical appointments. I would NOT stay here again.

Nice one level house with three comfortable bedrooms and two full baths. Had everything we needed including dishwasher pods, pots and pans and plenty of china.It had a nice big TV. Brad was wonderful and responsive throughout our stay.

Great communication from owner. We arrived right after a big storm and we had trouble with the interner. When I texted him , he got right to me andhelped us out. He was very knd and respectful

It was a clean place, I love how organized everything was. After our little gathering, we tried to live it clean as it was when we came in. We enjoyed our stay.

house cute at first then found 2 roaches that look like something off of nat. geo not gonna choose this one again.
