Liked: Check-in, communication, location
This was an adequate stay. Beautiful, safe neighborhood, comfortable beds, and responsive and helpful host, but whoever manages the property didn't pay much attention to details. The back and the garage doors were both unlocked/open when we arrived, which was concerning. There were no trash bags, one of the few towels that were given was put away wet so we didn't have enough towels for everyone to shower, the carpet at the foot of the stairs was very dirty, and there was no hand soap in either the downstairs or primary bath. Overall, our stay was fine for what we needed, but I would recommend the host find a new property manager.

About the host
Hosted by Tiana Day
Hi, I’m Tiana—the creator of A Beautiful Day Experience, and your host behind this Graceful Getaway.
I’m a real estate strategist with a deep love for hospitality, cozy lighting, elegant decor, and intentional living. My journey into hosting came from a desire to offer more than just a place to sleep—I wanted to create experiences that feel like a deep exhale.
Every space I design is layered with warmth, purpose, and a little magic. I believe a good stay is about the energy you feel when you walk through the door. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a working professional, a tired parent, or a group of friends catching up—I want you to feel cared for without ever feeling crowded.
Guests often tell me how relaxed, uplifted, and “at home” they feel during their stay. That means everything to me.
Though I keep a low profile during your visit, I’m always available if you need anything. I believe in clear communication, peaceful surroundings, and providing the kind of hospitality I’d want for myself and my own family.
So welcome! Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, I’m honored you chose this space. I designed it with you in mind.
Why they chose this property
I chose the Midtown Raleigh, East Millbrook area because it offers the perfect balance of peace and proximity.
You’re close to everything—parks, grocery stores, family-friendly attractions, and some of the best local restaurants in Raleigh—but tucked just far enough from the main roads to feel relaxed and at ease.
What really sold me on this neighborhood is its quiet charm and sense of community. People wave hello. Kids ride bikes. You’ll hear birds in the morning, see neighbors tending their yards, and feel that comforting rhythm of small-town life that’s rare to find in the middle of a growing city.
For families, it’s peaceful and walkable. For professionals, it’s well-located and accessible. For friend groups, it’s safe, low-key, and convenient.
I believe where you stay should feel like a soft landing—and this neighborhood offers exactly that.
It reflects everything I value in life and business: growth, peace, connection, and purpose. This place has heart. I’m proud to host here and share it with guests like you.
