It was a nice little house. Although on corner lot with lots of traffic, there was plenty of trees, bushes and a fence that helped to make a nice little get away. But we did have only 3 wash clothes for 6 guests. And just be aware of the rugs that can cause tripping Hazzard.

The bungalow was just as advertised, and we were all very comfortable (three adults and our small dog). We enjoyed walking to shop downtown, including the Saturday farmers market, coffee at Wake Forest Coffee, the hardware store, and both White Street Brewing and Norse Brewing. We also recommend Salty Turtle Brewing, which has two restaurants nearby (burger joint and Mexican restaurant). Alex and Jennifer were great hosts!
