2/10 Terrible

Robbie A.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The owner canceled my reservation with only a few hours notice until check in, which costed my group a lot of money having to find accommodation with such little time. Terrible communicator and should not be allowed to rent any properties.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I recently stayed at this property and was genuinely impressed by how beautiful and thoughtfully designed it was. The space features modern touches throughout and creates a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.The location is also a huge plus — it’s extremely close to downtown Durham, with everything just a short drive away, which made getting around really convenient.My main concern was the wooden flooring in the kitchen, which appears to have swollen and lifted over time. I understand that fixing this isn’t an easy task, but it’s something guests should be aware of and ideally addressed soon.Aside from that, the other issues were minor and didn’t take away from the overall experience. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return — especially once the flooring is repaired.
