Remodeled Historic House Walkable to Everything

Great for families and pets. Fenced yard. Nice back porch.

Everything was so close

Host was very good! House was just as advertised and in the middle of everything Raleigh! We rented for a wedding that was 3 blocks away at Market Hall so location is great! Would rent again.

House was clean, host was very responsive. Kitchen and bath literally everything you could need. Checkin and out was very simple.

Great location and Great accommodation

Super Clean and great location. Truly underrated

We had a group of three traveling for a conference that was held at the downtown conference center. Spacious, clean and conveniently located. It was a nice surprise to find a guitar in the living room and found out about a hidden talent of a coworker. Great place to stay!

We stayed here for IBMA in Raleigh and it was perfect since it was just a few blocks from all the action on Fayetteville St., the Convention Center, and the Red Hat Amphitheatre. The owner was great about communicating with us about the check-in and check-out processes, both of which were super easy. We would definitely stay here again for the next music festival!

Couldn’t sleep well because of noise outside and couldn’t turn off the thermostat, these are the main complaints we had. Host didn’t return our message. The house was clean, the location was a little sketchy for my taste. Coffee maker didn’t work.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was just as pictured and had everything we needed. The neighborhood wasn't great, but was what you would expect in a city. However, it was walking distance to pretty much anything. We were able to walk downtown with our 3 month old and 4.5 year old to the kids museum, science museum, parks, and restaurants. Overall, it was a great stay!

We stayed on Columbus Day Weekend which was homecoming for Shaw University. Reserved this in October 2022, whole year in advance. We were alarmed and wish we would have been notified of the block party that was happening on the street in-front of the house. When we returned Friday evening there were hundreds of people in the street partying along with loud music and no where to park as the street was loaded. We had to park blocks away and walk. My husband has trouble walking so this was a challenge. It was going strong until 11pm. I was able to go back out and bring my vehicle to the front of the house after navigating all the trash and broken glass left behind. The floors were so dirty that our feet were black from walking around. The new coffee maker was a challenge. It would not make coffee using the k cup adapter. Kept giving errors of either add water or clean. Finally contacted the host who could help as he wasn't in the area. I finally got it to work using ground coffee. The beds were comfortable, plenty of pillows. The cleaning crew needs to work a little harder on the showers and floors.

As promised, this property is a quick walk to downtown and beautifully remodeled. For the most part, we felt safe - it’s like any neighborhood in a downtown. Comfortable beds. The fans in the rooms keep the rooms a great temperature when sleeping. The room off of the kitchen has the washer and dryer inside of it and no closet. Kitchen was well stocked. Robert was responsive the first day, but non-responsive during our stay. The coffee maker was not working, the shared bathroom shower was visibly dirty with pink scum, and while the door keypad worked well for guests, the keys in the lockbox for the cleaning crew were visible, not secured, and could have easily created a break-in during our stay! Other downsides: you have a lot of prep to do as the renter before you leave and all lights and fans are accessed by remotes throughout the house. Also, FYI: if you have anyone in your party who can’t easily climb stairs (my 37 yo sister is a stroke survivor), the stairs to the front door are steep and not pictured in the listing. Other than that, we enjoyed walking to Sir Walter Coffee and the downtown restaurants.
