10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here and felt very comfortable throughout the week. The home had everything we needed, and the host was very communicative, responsive, and easy to work with.The location was also great for us, with pretty much everything we needed within about a 10–20 minute drive.One of the main reasons we chose this home was the main-floor entry and layout. My mother-in-law uses a walker, so having easy and safe access in and out of the house was really important to us, and this home worked very well for her.We also loved all of the personal touches throughout the house. It felt warm and inviting, and the artwork displayed throughout the home was especially beautiful and gave the space so much character.Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting the Raleigh area."
