Tom and Sarah’s house was cozy and comfortable. They were kind enough to let us get in early. They were very responsive the only time we needed them, when we set off the alarm. So were the Durham police officers. It was spotless and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for four adults to spread out. We walked to restaurants (if you get a chance, try Juju’s) and it was a short Uber to Wallace Wade Stadium. Very quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again! ##### Sharon S.

We'll rent there again in a heartbeat! ##### Elaine From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy 17 Dec 2022 #### great location We stayed here for my father's funeral weekend. All of his events were on the Duke campus. This is a GREAT location. If you know Durham at all, you know the neighborhood is sort of in transition. But just get there, park and go inside. The house is wonderful and the bathrooms are amazing! I'm also an Evolve owner and this stay gave me lots of great tips to make my own rental experience better. Highly recommend. ##### Nancy Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nichole H. 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and quiet My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at this cute little bungalow. It is in a cute and quiet neighborhood, and an easy walk to a number of delicious restaurants. The back patio was perfect for a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, watching birds and squirrels in all the huge trees, or a fire in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked, and Tom was very responsive for everything we needed. ##### Nichole H.
