Fully stocked kitchen functional kitchen. Parking was great! Needs a little tender love & care regarding doorknobs etc( but again it’s an older home) needs severe pest control (spiders, webs, ants) and dusting. Unbeknownst to the owners. They promised to address with the cleaners asap. I also advised the cleaning person when we’re outside leaving. The hosts were very gracious. They even allowed us to enter the home 2 hours early because it was raining and we traveled so far. Overall, it fit our family of 12 just fine. And I would recommend it to anyone. ##### Juanita M.

Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Wedding Weekend in Durham Our 4 night stay at this lovely restored Victorian home went extremely well. The property is accurately described and is unique not only in it's appearance, but also in that there are not a lot of properties that can comfortably accommodate a large group. For ourselves, we had decided that having our immediate family together for our youngest daughter's wedding (she lives in Durham, but we were all traveling from outside the area) would be preferred. The home presents lots of space to move around in addition to the good size 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. We also took advantage of the large kitchen island to prep some large amounts of food for her "Welcome to Durham Party" at a local brewery for the out of town guests the night before the wedding. The hot tub was also in good shape and used on several nights during our stay. We also took advantage of the massive wraparound porch on several occasions during the weekend, and it was great! The check-in and check-out procedures and codes were easy to use and follow. One slight criticism would be that there were only 2 towels per bedroom (and 6 hot tub/pool towels in the laundry room), so being we were staying for 4 nights, plan on doing laundry if you're their more than 1-2 nights. Overall, it is close to a solid 5! ##### Michael H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin B.

The location was a new area of Durham for us, but very easy to get downtown and to both of Duke's campuses. Ended up being the perfect place for us to reconnect, highly recommend! ##### Erin B.

So it has character but lost of room. We enjoyed the property and even host a nice family event. The updated portion of the home:kitchen was a hit. The home had everything I could image, so it work very well to have a nice happy hour cocktail party for 12. Patios are very nice. My only suggestions are that they air out the homes before usage, get an exterminator and they keep the coffee maker we left there. Also renters should know that this is an older home and floors are uneven. ##### Renee P. Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles E. Aug 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Honesty The reason I gave this a 5 star I was impressed with the management. I was super happy with how well tans quickly they responded to the issues we had. Here I’ll tell the story and my honest opinion. 1. The house was not cleaned properly when arriving - there were cleaning products around the house. The owner expressed that they cleaning crew did not know and did not show. I believe they did but did not do a stand up job. The reason I believe this, when the company showed up to clean the house. I removed the majority of stuff out of the fridge. Opened half eaten food. There was a lime that I wanted to keep. When they came back after I expressed my concerns they threw the lime away however kept all the other food. Lol. 2. The hot tub was nasty - luckily they leave cleaning products by the tub - we cleaned the tub however, it never got hot :( 3. The listing had 7 rooms and even a break down of where room. However when I asked them about this, they said it could have been the air mattress. Either way - was not what we expected. 4. I brought this up to management with a few other things. They immediately responded, worked with us and fixed all the issues. So at the end of the day, I’m happy with the stay and how management took care of the concerns. The rest is small stuff at the end of the day. The location is great super close to downtown. Cool bars and the house is accommodating. They did a great job with the remodel and the beds and pillows are fantastic. Overalll happy with the stay. ##### Charles E. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aracelis S.
