Perfect house for Thanksgiving visit to Durham
The house was comfortable, very clean, with everything in working order. I appreciated the special touches for our dogs - a bed, blanket, and water and food dishes. We were only one block from our family who lives in Durham, and it was a great location for dog walking.

Traveling to Duke Hospital
We traveled to the area as our daughter was having surgery at Duke Hospital. Andrea, our host was extremely accommodating to our needs. Our trip was longer than anticipated and Andrea was there to help us out each time. We could not be happier with this location and the great hospitality Andrea provided. This place will be our #1 with our next visit!

Well run rental, with some issues
The house presents well with upgrades such as the gravel rear parking area, exterior paint, LVF flooring, and hand picked decor. The bedrooms are big, with comfortable beds. However, walking in the door you are hit with an unpleasant odor of mold/mildew covered with a heavy floral air freshener scent. The air freshener is so strong that it gives you a headache and permeates all your belongings. It has been two weeks since our stay and I still have clothing that I cannot get the smell out of. It’s in the air and seems to be sprayed on the bed linens as well.
Overall, it’s a nice place in what I would call a transitional neighborhood that seems a little dicey in parts. The living room was uncomfortable, with a couch past it’s useful life and a that TV needs to be about 20 inches larger, but it was decent enough for a short stay. The bedrooms are the best place in the house and very comfortable if it weren’t for the air freshener.

Nice little home and overall a pleasant place.
Nice home, we work out of town and spend a lot of time at the houses we stay at when we’re not at work so the small tv in the living room and not having a tv in every room was a bummer but overall this was a pleasant stay. We also had to go buy a pot so we could make some spaghetti, the kitchen was mostly stocked with pots and pans but nothing to boil a large amount of water for something to feed five hungry guys.

Decent space at a great price in good location
The property was just as pictured in the listing, as is the description. I don't remember if it was in the listing, but the single beds in one of the bedrooms is a trundle bed. Location is indeed a quite little neighborhood, not far from things to do. I recommend going to the Drake University gardens that isn't too far from there.
The full bath could do with a little bit of repair due to damage caused by water to some spots and flaking ceiling paint. There are probably people who aren't very careful or pay attention when it's not their home. Other than that it is a lovely house at a great price. So much more room than a hotel room.

Wonderful Durham property
Andrea's property was the perfect place for our family's quick week-end trip to Durham. The location is great, and there is easy to access to downtown Durham, a neighborhood grocery store, etc. The house itself was clean and well-equipped. We would stay there again without hesitation.

Great stay for students on fieldwork.
We were a group of students who all had fieldwork assignments out of town. This was the perfect house for us to stay in for the time. There was a Keurig and coffee pot, the fridge had plenty of room for us to store food, overall we had a really great time! Do not park on the street, especially if you drive a Honda or a Prius; my catalytic converter was stolen so I had to miss a day of fieldwork in addition to paying quite a bit of money to have the part replaced.
