Ed and Mitzi's place was perfect for our tour of colleges in the Triangle. It's close to the highway and a Publix supermarket. It had just about everything we needed, and when we asked for something they dropped it off in a gift bag! Great stay -- recommended!

Very comfortable with good sleeping arrangement. Lots of room to stretch out - kitchen, dining room, and two living rooms so adults could work while kids were playing board games or watching TV. Kitchen included all of the cooking utensils we needed with a good variety of spices. Hosts were very responsive when we needed extra dishwasher pods.Location was convenient to Duke campus, UNC campus, and Downtown Raleigh museums - each was about a 20 minute drive. Quiet peaceful neighborhood with easy parking for our two vehicles.
