About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oakwood near downtown with Nespresso, Bikes & Bidet.

This Studio is a pretty new space on the 1st floor of our townhouse. It has it's own private entrance which will only be used by our guests. Colette and I love to travel and the over-all bedding comfort is at the top of our list. We got turned onto Cozy Earth bedding, which offers the most comfy sleeping experience that we have found. The pillows are pretty comfy too.
The Studio has lots of lights all on dimmers and a 9' ceiling. The Studio has a patio looking out onto a landscaped courtyard with comfortable chairs and over-head fan and mood lighting to help you enjoy happy hours or whatever hours. The studio has a full kitchenette including micro, fridge, toaster oven, filtered water, and also a Nespresso maker with fresh cream and an assortment of teas. We also have 2-bikes that we will loan to our guests so you can enjoy the North Person Street Corridor and downtown Raleigh, which is less than a mile away. We are 2-blocks from the free R-LINE bus which cycles thru every 15 minutes from 7 am to 11 pm and takes you thru downtown Raleigh and back. The city also has Lime bikes and Gotcha electric scooters. You can pick up an Uber or Lyft usually with less than a 5-minute wait.

This unit has a 55' Smart Roku TV with a Samsung sound bar complete with subwoofer. We provide the major channels, like Netflix, Starz, Showtime, HBO, Amazon Prime, and too many more. The Pandora and YouTube are with out commercials. Access Google to find what stations are offered thru Spectrum. For example, Showtime is channel 550 in the guide. NFL is 310 and 13.

We often find that people leave early, if that is the case and you would like to get in early, say 10:ish or so, we will work with you.

We have had a few other VRBO units over the years and had the distinction of being the No. 1 rated short-term rental properties out of 466 in this area in the past. We also have 2 other properties currently being offered thru the VRBO site. Looking at these other properties, you should be able to get the flavor of what you might experience from our hosting style while staying at our "New Downtown Studio".

"Service animals" that are hypo-allergenic and smaller than 15 lbs. are OK, but no cats, I have an allergy to most dogs, i.e, German Shepherds, Retreivers, Labs, so those types of dogs are not allowed in our properties. Because of my allergies, I am exempt to the service dog rule that says anybody with a service animal can bring their pets into a property. I have covered this with VRBO and they have granted me a pass because of this affliction.

All eligible people, from everywhere are welcome in our property.

Very cozy and well-equipped unit. The host really thought of everything from tons of lighting options to access to power to a bidet and nice shower. Location is also great, being an easy walk to downtown venues as well as the restaurant/retail district on N Person street. One of the better places I've rented. Would stay again!

The host was very responsive. He provided necessary instructions for the stay. The apartment could have been a bit cleaner. I think if you’re paying 60 for a cleaning fee, the place should be very clean. The apartment could use a deep clean. Overall the stay was okay. It was very close to the wedding venue that we attended. The grass area and neighborhood were great for walking our dog. Our stay would have been more comfortable, if the place was a tad bit cleaner.

This is a great location if you’re doing anything in downtown, but also want to be in a quiet area at night. The studio is super clean, there are so many little amenities throughout the space. Would absolutely consider staying here again during future Raleigh visits.

We had a wonderful stay at Tom's apartment. The location was perfect, a short drive to great restaurants, bars and museums. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The host was very friendly and responsive. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a Raleigh getaway. Also try out the Ish Deil. Very good deli spot to walk to for lunch.

This place pays attention to detail

Tom communicated with me awesomely from booking through check out. This place is incredibly thoughtfully curated for a short stay. Entertainment system is great, bathroom is chefs kiss, entry and exit is both easy and secure. Convenient 24 hr BP station a block over for any last minute cravings. Bedding was verrrry comfortable. When coming back through Raleigh will not be staying anywhere else from now on. Very walkable.

Our stay in Tom's Place was exceptional. They had thought of every little thing a guest might need. We had the choice of a soft pillow or a firm one. Nespresso was a pleasant surprise. The bed and linens were comfortable as was the lounging area. My hubs especially enjoyed the well-appointed bathroom. The architecture of this space was well-thought out and obviously brought to life by skilled crafts people. Don't want to spoil all the surprises we found so you will be pleased and surprised too when you check in!

Fantastic Host

I stayed here for 3 days and the host, Tom, was not only extremely hospitable, but also communicative, flexible and kind with what I needed. The VRBO was lovely and exactly as advertised, and just what I needed for my stay. I think I have to get a bidet now as theirs was a game changer!! Thank you so much for having me and I hope our paths cross again soon.
