The house was very comfortable. It had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The owner was very responsive and helpful. The neighborhood is quiet. We would stay there again.

Emily was a wonderful guest and it was truly a pleasure hosting her. From the very beginning, communication was smooth, respectful, and easy. She treated my home with care and consideration throughout her stay, and everything was left in excellent condition upon checkout. It is always appreciated when guests are mindful of the space, and Emily absolutely was.
I also appreciated how easygoing and pleasant she was during the reservation process. Guests like Emily make hosting enjoyable because there is a clear sense of mutual respect and kindness. My home was clean, organized, and very well cared for after her departure, which speaks volumes about the type of guest she is.
I’m especially grateful that she enjoyed the home and location. Hearing simple but meaningful feedback like “Clean space. nice location.” is genuinely appreciated because I work hard to create a comfortable, welcoming environment where guests can relax and feel at home during their travels.
I would gladly welcome Emily back anytime without hesitation and highly recommend her to any future host. She is the kind of guest every property owner hopes for — respectful, communicative, appreciative, and easy to host. Thank you again, Emily, for choosing my home for your stay. You are always welcome back anytime you are in Durham!
Overall great experience definitely would rent again

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad you had a great experience—it was a pleasure hosting you. You’re welcome back anytime, and I’d be happy to have you stay again.
We stayed here for a UNC football game for 3 nights. It was convenient and only 20 minutes from UNC campus. Overall the house was clean and met our needs. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom had excellent water pressure and the water stayed warm. We appreciate the updated kitchen and newer appliances. Our concern about this stay was a mildew/sewage smell that was coming from the laundry closet in the kitchen. Even with the door to the closet closed and windows opened, it was still noticeable. I did reach out to the owner after our first night who said they were unaware and would address the issue after our stay. Overall this was a nice stay and if the smell is addressed, this would definitely be a 5 star stay.

Five stars for Lauren! It was such a pleasure to host her for a UNC football weekend. From a host’s perspective, thoughtful communication makes all the difference, and I truly appreciated Lauren taking the time to share her experience and bring a concern to my attention during her visit. Her gracious approach and helpful, detailed feedback were sincerely appreciated.
Lauren, thank you for choosing my home and for noticing the comforts and thoughtful touches I’ve worked to provide. It means a great deal to know you enjoyed the comfortable beds, updated kitchen, and convenient location!
I would enthusiastically recommend Lauren to fellow hosts and would be delighted to welcome her back. You’ll always have a warm welcome at my home, Lauren—come back for another game or simply a relaxing Durham getaway!
Good stay, nice facilities, got two different codes for the lock box which was confusing. Steep and narrow drive. Could do with info at the house how to work the projector and speaker. Another chair in front room would be useful as only space for 2. Overall though a good property and host
