Cute little spot with all the amenities you need for a short stay. The bed is super comfortable and the shower is hot and strong! Very awesome host with great communication. We came for a funeral but were able to check out some cool spots in Chapel Hill and Durham. Would love to come back to explore more!

I would recommend!

The stay was perfect. It’s a cute little studio room and had everything we needed. I will say, if you’re not a fan of bugs then this might not be the place for you because of the outside nature but we sprayed outside and it got rid of the problem. Host was great as well. Would stay again!

Nice studio with well equipped kitchen

Overall, the stay was very good and the kitchen would have been great for a longer stay. There was some confusion at check in with which unit to access and with others arriving for the same unit, but everything was quickly resolved by the manager once we all figured out what had happened. Would stay here again or rent from this manager at another property.
