Very cute place, clean, well maintained and nicely appointed. Very comfortable beds, location was convenient and host was very nice. All around one of the best rentals for us. Would definitely book again.

We stayed here for 2 weeks as my mother had surgery at Duke Medical and Recovery afterwards. It is very convenient to do medical and the home is absolutely beautiful. The walk-in shower was perfect everything worked wonderfully. We had no issues while staying here. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. We did not get to enjoy the back porch as it was too hot, but the rest of the home more than made up for it. We would highly recommend staying here. Communication was fantastic, and everything was as described. Should the need arise, we will definitely be back here.
