#615 S. Buchanan Street was perfect. The home was extremely clean. All amenities were provided for - from Kleenex tissues, to coffee and coffee filters, to a Brita Water Pitcher in the fridge to Paper Towels and so much more. My sister and I loved the location as we were within walking distance to the Durham Co-op store to purchase supplies. And the West End is a very convenient neighborhood in which to walk my dog. There were grassy areas at the local church, near the Pauli Murray house and elsewhere. What really surprised us was how quiet the house and surrounding neighborhood was. And of course we loved having a driveway that we could pull the car off the street. This was just such a great spot. My sister attended a writers workshop in Durham while I visited many old friends and colleagues. We could not have stayed at a better place. Thank you Jesse & team.

Jesse was super responsive to questions and always ready to help with any needs. The house was perfect and stocked with all the essentials. We stayed for my son’s soccer tournament, and the location was great with easy access to and from the freeways. The laundry machines were top-notch, making it easy to clean jerseys each evening during our busy weekend of games. It’s a perfect little house for a family and within walking distance to downtown Durham.

Beautiful Place to Stay

We absolutely loved staying at this property. It is beautifully renovated and decorated, really clean, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The fenced yard made it easy to let our dogs play. We plan on staying here again on our next trip to Durham if it's available. The location is also very convenient, in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. The internet service is excellent.

Excellent choice for our Granddaughter's first family weekend. Parents and Grandparents of a Duke Freshman and this is a perfect stay. Clean, neat 2 bedroom, fully stocked home just 5 minutes to Freshman East dorms. Couldn't have picked a better location.

Property is as listed and nice. It is not a place for anyone with mobility issues. The beds and tub are high. I’m 4’11 & my husband is 6’6, his feet didn’t touch the floor when sitting on the side of the bed , just to give you an idea. Otherwise, everything was great, mostly quiet area, close to lots of things, between Duke and NCCU campus.

Very nice house in great location

The house was exactly as described, and had a nice bonus charging station for our electric rental car. The property is clean, had lots of towels and a fully equipped kitchen. The thermostat was a little tricky to figure out (pressure sensitive strip on the right side for future guests), but otherwise everything was clear and straightforward. Communication with the owner was excellent. The neighborhood is convenient and walkable as is the Duke campus.

Cute place near downtown

The unit is very cute and well equipped. It’s conveniently located not far from Duke and Durham’s downtown area. We enjoyed delicious bagels at Isaac’s and had a great meal at Grub Durham - both just a few blocks from the unit. Overall the area is quiet with the only real exception we experienced being one night a neighbor had a loud party until 2:00 a.m.

If there is someone in obvious violation of the noise ordinance please call the police, as this is obviously out of my control. Fortunately this is the first I’m hearing of such an incident.

We (propel & dogs) enjoyed our stay at this well appointed & equipped house. The home was just as advertised/promised from the listing & pictures. The neighborhood was quiet/safe. The host provides a house ‘manual’ with an extensive list of local interests, restaurants, shopping, etc that was top tier! The Eno River State Park, less than 15 minutes away, was a great place to hike with the dogs. If we ever find ourselves back in Durham we would definitely book this house again if it’s available!

Beautiful and convenient

Stayed for 3 nights mid-week, family of four (two adults, 3yo, 15mo). Property was beautiful, though one room was a bit small (or could just be oversized furniture making it feel that way). Lights were very bright, and nicely labeled. New, efficient washer and dryer. Highchairs and pack and plays were in a closet- a nice bonus for us. Great location. The only negatives were the slightly short driveway (my subcompact suv fit fine- a larger vehicle may not have) and the bathroom door did not latch correctly.

Nice property !

We stayed here due to the location's proximity to NCCU. The property was still having ongoing exterior work for refurnishing but the owner paused the work during our stay which was helpful. Inside the house, everything was very well arranged. Loved the kitchen with loads of cutlery and appliances as well as the separate office room for you to work. The property had a fenced in backyard which was good for our pet - one drawback though was that the backyard entrance is not through the house so you couldn't monitor on your pet from inside the house effectively. Host was very responsive and frequently checked in over sms on our stay. Very clean house and checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Overall a good experience !

Immaculate, well organized, and comfortable three bedroom within walking distance to everything.

There is plenty of room in this pristine home for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked for you to cook in. There is a house alarm so you always feel safe. There is a driveway so you don't have to worry about parking your car on the street. The air conditioning works great. The Duke college campus is within walking distance or a short drive away. Pets are welcome and the yard is all fenced in. The cost of renting this home is far more economical than renting multiple hotel rooms for your family. The home owners will promptly reply to your messages. There is a well written book about the rental that includes maps, restaurants, grocery stores and medical facilities.
