Apartment in West End

Bull City Escape! Minutes to Duke & Downtown

ShellieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I stayed in this unit with my small dog for a month, and it was a super comfortable place for a long-term stay! The kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook in, the bed is comfy, and the space is great. The neighborhood is safe, walkable, and convenient. Parking was never an issue. Adam and Rachel were always VERY responsive when issues cropped up—I really appreciated how quickly they got back to me with a resolution. The only thing to note - the walls in the unit are very thin, so you will 100% hear your neighbors—just a reminder to be considerate if you choose to stay here. I’d absolutely stay again!!

Bergamot Short Stay Flat

MaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Alva’s place was perfect for our time in Durham. Walking distance to the Durham Bulls stadium, a market, and so many excellent restaurants. Our host recommended a few spots and they delivered! The keyless entry is slick and so convenient. Well lit parking right across the street was both convenient and super cheap. All in all - great! And you can’t beat the brick street right out front!

Home in Trinity Park

Charming Trinity Park Garden Home Walkable to Duke

MichelleRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We really enjoyed our visit. This was our second time in a house hosted by Amy and Elizabeth and as before, they provided a great experience. The house was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. We enjoyed hanging out in the backyard garden, which was private and has nice furniture to sit on. Trinity Park is a nice neighborhood with beautiful historic homes. We were fortunate to be able to tour several of them as we were there during the neighborhood’s annual tour of homes. It’s close to Duke East campus and a short, easy drive into downtown Durham. I would stay there on a future visit.

This was a wonderful home to stay in; it was spotless, thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. The hosts gave clear instructions and were quick to respond. The neighborhood is absolutely lovely.
