Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denny S. Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Durham for Wedding The property was perfect for our wedding weekend. Convenient to all of Durham and easy access to the highway so that we could make speedy trips for rehearsal dinner set up, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. The neighborhood is definitely in transition with approximately 50% of the homes still to be remodeled. Overall all great place for our family and this location would be perfect for anyone attending events at Duke or NCCU. ##### Denny S.
