Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood walking distance from everything you need in Carrboro. My husband and sister and I enjoyed Sara’s home when visiting our family in the area.The home was immaculate, well appointed, quiet and suitable for all of our needs.

Lovelier than the Pics!

Welcoming, artful, beautifully minimalist. Clean. Great shower and bathroom accessories. Fresh flowers and well-working kitchen materials. Excellent, walkable location. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Responsive host: was great because we needed an ironing board that wasn’t on site and the washer dryer combo unit instructions were inaccurate, so we needed to consult w her about that. Otherwise, we were in heaven. This is an excellent choice.
