I chose this property due to its proximity, historic appeal, tastefully decorated room and the 13 outstanding ratings. Itâs all BUT this! To begin, I had trouble getting in touch with the host- I called and he would forward my call to voicemail and failed to return my calls. When making reservations, we are required to type an email address; he did not acknowledge the proper address and my check in notification was never received. Thanks to VRBO rep, this was discovered. I went into the account but had two rooms assigned to me!! I actually stood and input security code while standing at someone elseâs room!! The building looks as if it should be condemned. There was trash littered around the outside, the stairs were filthy and there were stains on the walls and comforter! I didnât feel clean after showing because I stood in water over my ankles! The air conditioning is a portable unit in the middle of the room with a vent hose out the window that was closed in with cardboard and duct tape! Damaged paint, construction debris in the hallway and mold in the shower! This feels like a scam! I have photos but VRBO site does allow this option.
We enjoyed our stay. The host answered our call and resolved our issue promptly. We did not realize we would be walking up 3 flights of stairs with our luggage. Other than that, the bed was comfortable, linens were nice and there was coffee and a hair dryer,
Very nice and private. I enjoyed the natural light and the overall set up. One thing is my partner just had knee replacement surgery five months ago so the stairs were difficult. The elevator being out of service was the only bad thing about this place. I highly recommend and I will be booking again in the future
Huge room, nice bathroom. The room had a little fridge and keurig. Very convenient. The bed was a little tired but not horrible. Cute decor. I think it should be mentioned that the place is a walk up 3 stairs. I had been sick and just recovered and it was killer for me. If youâre older or out of shape it might be hard on you. Other than that, we had no complaints at all.
I had a great relaxing stay at this location. The room was decorated beautifully, lots of space, comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, high speed Internet and great streaming. The location also seemed central to a variety of restaurants and across the street from Duke University. Did not get any responses to my questions in the VRBO app chat so luckily I had no emergencies.
Property and room are as shown and stated. Easy access to parking and room. Host was very quick to respond to inquiries regarding check in procedures and WiFi passkey.
We loved our stay very centrally located. Very comfortable and peaceful. The bed was very very comfortable. Just an a+ stay for us both. Property management was very helpful and caring. Would definitely recommend 5 stars
