This great place to stay right near downtown will check all the boxes on your wishlist! The Space: You enter the home into the spacious living room with a superbly comfortable designer leather couch, side chair and TV. The Sunny Kitchen features an eat in swivel stool dining table, gas range and dishwasher. The bathroom is complete with subway tile adorned bathtub/shower. There is a nook with built in desk for knocking out any work that needs to be accomplished. The bedroom has a plush queen bed, plenty of natural light (but blackout curtains in case you need those too!). The large bedroom closet also contains a full washer/dryer. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy. At the back of the bedroom you can access your own courtyard draped with twinkling cafe lights, and comfortable outdoor wicker chairs and table. The back patio is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or wind down in the evening under the stairs. Guest Access: The front and back door have a keypad so you can arrive when convenient and come and go as you please. The Neighborhood: The Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood is called 'Durham's Front Porch' with good reason! It beats nearly any other neighborhood in terms of proximity to downtown. It is within blocks of dozens of wonderful restaurants, bars and event spaces. This is an urban historic neighborhood and as such has foot traffic and mixed income neighbors. Getting Around: Lyft, walk, bike, bus or drive; it's all easy! Other Things to Note: As this is a duplex, we ask that guests on both sides of the unit are respectful with noise, especially after 9pm and before 8am. Interaction with Guests: We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises. We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a sudden urge for a new haircut or a desperate need for a donut, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100960000/100957700/100957663/02421a35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 100 Year-Old Historic Brick 2BR Loft-High Ceiling8 Downtown Durham - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.0 Very good 2 reviews CA $112 CA $315 total includes taxes & fees Dec 24 - Dec 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-24&endDate=2025-12-25&selected=100957663&PinnedHotelID=100957663&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95380000/95372400/95372360/fa842286.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Recently Renovated Chic Durham Farmhouse East Durham - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.2 Wonderful 9 reviews CA $90 CA $235 total includes taxes & fees Dec 28 - Dec 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-28&endDate=2025-12-29&selected=95372360&PinnedHotelID=95372360&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 23 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules • No smoking • No pets • No parties or events • Check-in is anytime after 4:00 PM ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Kitchen had everything we needed, comfortable living room and cute our back area to hang at night. Only suggestion is more towels. We stayed 5 nights and I have long hair, two towels isn't enough. Most women would like a towel for their hair. Also, be sure of your dates, the owner is not flexible at all. Other than that, the property was perfectly located next to great restaurants, Duke University, and stores. ##### Casandra S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Fred A.
