Best VRBO stay ever

Stayed 5 days, and hands down..the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at. So comfortable, clean, completely stocked with everything you would want or need. Will definitely return on my yearly trip to Raleigh.

Would definitely use again

Very clean, lots of little touches that increased our enjoyment of our stay, lots and lots of outlets for us to charge our electronics. Very quiet, which was a must for me after staying at hotels off 440 (loud cars all night, which woke me up). Excellent accommodations.

Great location for a base for activities.

My husband and I were visiting our sons, one in Raleigh and one in Durham. We enjoyed antiquing, going to the Art museum and dinner with the boys and their partners . The property was just right for us, clean and comfortable and private.

Lovely serene apartment.

We stayed for the weekend in this beautifully decorated apartment located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. This VRBO had everything we needed, a kitchenette, place to lounge and comfortable beds with many extra amenities to make this comfortable. (I didn’t have to run out for laundry detergent, and there was Tylenol for my headache, etc)The owner is very responsive and flexible. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again when in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Welcoming and cozy

My wife and I are both in our mid 70's and just wanted to take a relaxing trip. This rental really fit our needs and more. We have frequently used short term rentals but we never had a host like Brian. He knew we were coming in late and asked what we needed. He supplied snacks, drinks and breakfast foods. We were central to the few things we wanted to do and the neighborhood is great for a relaxing walk in the morning.

Doesn’t get better than this!

Brian was a wonderful host. There were snacks, drinks, and treats upon arrival.The pictures don’t do the apartment justice. It’s cozy, warm, spotless, and welcoming. The kitchenette had everything you needed, there was even a washer dryer the shower was hot and strong, with adjustable settings. Highly recommend. Thanks, Brian!

Great Experience

My small family was in need of somewhere to stay for a month while our home was being renovated due to a fire…and this was the perfect place! Our host, Brian, was so kind and helpful. He accommodated everything we needed and has really made this property a great place to stay. We love the neighborhood as well and it’s a great location to anything you need. I can highly recommend staying here if you want a nice, quiet and clean place to stay! Thank you for everything, Brian. You really came through for us!
