First the plusses. Close to Duke hospital, food shopping and Duke U. Beds are comfortable and house although small has most of the basics (although make sure you bring a sponge for the kitchen, dish soap and extra paper towels, and toilet paper, you get the minimum). Also if you drink caffeinated coffee make sure you bring your own (only decaf). One of the biggest issue was that the house is adjacent to a freeway and right behind a busy road so there is a lot of noise both inside and outside all the time. Something the host should be more transparent about.

Great location to Duke University Hospital

We needed a place close to Duke hospital for a month due to my husband’s surgery and a safe place for our dog. This home was perfect for our needs. The fenced in back yard was exactly what we needed for our dog.

House was nice especially for a pet friendly property. Pictures were accurate. Hassle free check in. It is very close to a busy highway, so it was noisy.

Comfortable rental unit

The home was comfortable and met all of our needs. It was clear many updates were made to modernize the house. Everything functioned well and was lovely. The host was very kind and graciously allowed us to check in early. The home is near the freeway, which is convenient, but also a little loud when you’re outside.

Great value and close proximity to Duke campus

We stayed at this property while attending our son’s graduation from Duke University. The rates were very reasonable and our stay was comfortable. The location is great for easy access to the university but it is very close to the freeway and you can hear the traffic noise. We are big city people so it was not a huge issue but it would be nice to know ahead of time. Spending time outside is not as enjoyable when you hear the constant roar of traffic.

Excellent Location for Exploring Durham

Very convenient, clean home at the end of a dead-end street. My wife and our 2 dogs were in town for a long weekend to explore Durham's restaurants, local hikes and museums. The back yard is fenced and a big plus for our 2 dogs. Would definitely want to stay here again.

The house was a perfect size for me and my dog! It is close to so many food options, Duke, and downtown Durham, and it is right off the highway. Quiet neighborhood that is easy to walk around and get to some parks. The fenced in backyard was great to let my dog roam and play with him. Really enjoyed my stay and if I ever need a place in the Durham area again, I hope to stay here again!
