How close is Designer Garden Home Downtown to downtown Durham?
We loved everything about this house! The location was great, you could easily walk to Downtown Durham in minutes. The house was very clean and cleaning supplies were available if you needed to clean up a spill or vacuum a mess, which isnât always the case in rental homes. Loved having a quick, working washer and dryer. Note there is a fire house behind the house, so you will occasionally hear fire truck sirens leaving the station. Other than that it was a peaceful, relaxing stay.
Great house! We really enjoyed our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, spacious and well appointed. It felt like a little private oasis right in the heart of the city. Next time we're in the area we will definitely rebook this property. We also appreciated all the recommendations from the host which helped us plan our stay.
Light, bright, private and good energy describes this newer and thoughtful build walkable to downtown Durham. Responsive and highly accommodating host. Looking forward to our next stay.
We loved our stay. The hosts were super accommodating when our schedule changed. They were so helpful when we messed up and forgot our clothing in the dryer. The home was so comfortable, with lots of natural light. It was quiet and relaxing, but also offerd the convenience of being to walk right to downtown. Such a great time!
Iâd love to give this place 5 stars and it deserves it, but there were a few noteworthy items that could be better. Before I mention those, letâs talk about the great stuff.
The unit itself is perfect. Roomy but cozy, great lighting, tastefully decorated, private (no adjoining units), and located within minutes (walking) of many food and drink options including a couple wonderful rooftop bars. Honestly, this is one of those most memorable and comfortable vrbos Iâve ever stayed in with a high recommend.
As for the missing starâŠcommunication from the owner/property manager was either lacking or slow, including requested answers to 3 separate questions. If communication sucks, you canât earn 5 stars. The unit was also lacking laundry detergent despite having a washer/dryer. I sent a message about it but didnât hear back until our last night, after we had already purchased detergent.
These are minor concerns, and they wouldnât preclude me from coming back or recommending this unit.
