Graduation Stay
Everything was terrific..all in our group loved the house and felt very comfortable and relaxed. The hosts responded to our every question and request, they welcomed us with a nice selection of snacks, coffees and even fresh eggs, milk and bread. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living area had ample space and was very tastefully decorated. Location was perfect, so close to the Duke campus and downtown Durham.Would definitely recommend, and we would re-book if we return to the area.Thanks to the hosts for everything .

Super Nice Host
Wife was having some surgery at Duke so this house was a perfect location (close to Duke / close to restaurants / grocery stores). Originally picked the house based on the king beds and comfy looking couch....both were perfect. The host went above and beyond and checked in and asked how the surgery was going....also started us off with some milk, bread and eggs.....the house was well stocked in every way. It was winter during our visit, but the house had a nice porch that would be nice other times of the year. Would definitely recommend staying here.
