Located on the 2nd floor, there is one generous size bedroom with high ceilings, a second flex room (sleeper sofa, TV and table for eating or working), full bath and small room with dorm fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Off street parking. Pet friendly. No smoking on premises. I live in the area, but travel a lot. So my friend Emily takes the lead on communicating with you and making the space ready for you. Historic Trinity Park is one of Durham’s most sought-after neighborhoods, both for its historic architecture and prime location. The tree lined streets connect to parks, Duke’s East campus, and right to the heart of downtown. I love that I can enjoy the peace and quiet on my street, and within a 5 minute walk be in the middle of everything. Guests have access to their private apartment, shared laundry room, and shared backyard. As stated in the house rules, there is an automatic minimum $250 service fee for any violations of house rules that require additional cleaning and/or cause damage. This is our home. We have tried to make it comfortable for you and for us, and have been thoughtful in the amenities we provide. We appreciate you for exercising the same level of thought and care when staying here. While we are happy to host families, please note that the apartment is not “child-proofed,” nor do we provide any child-focused amenities (no crib, pack-n-play, high chair, etc). We do ask that guests are relatively quiet after 10 PM, as a courtesy to neighbors. Noise travels in the house, and the downstairs apartment will hear you walking around! Please don't operate the laundry after 9pm. Parties and loud groups are not permitted. Thanks for helping us be good neighbors. Smoking or vaping of any substances is not permitted on the premises. Well-behaved pets are welcome, and must be registered with the reservation. There is a pet fee. Pets cannot be left alone in the back yard. Reservations longer than 29 nights may incur additional fees.

The "coffee maker" is actually an electric kettle and you make your coffee with tea bag coffees. Be aware only stevia is provided, not sugar, so you may need to bring your own sweetener. They do have creamer. No bedding provided for the futon. For positives, the location is wonderful and the neighborhood is beautiful. ##### Allison W. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ---
