Space is quite large, bedrooms are nice and everything is decorated and lit very well.Air conditioning/heating is a bit frustrating, we were given instructions not to change the temperature by more than two degrees or to change the A/C mode while we were there, and it got a bit cold over night but heating never turned on.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 May 2026
Thank you for your review, Guillermo and I appreciate the feedback! The home uses a dual heating and cooling system, which means both the upstairs and downstairs need to be set to the same mode (heat or AC). This can sometimes require a quick adjustment during Raleigh’s seasonal transitions, when temperatures can fluctuate quite a bit. I’m always more than happy to make any changes to ensure guests are comfortable—just let me know your preference and I’ll take care of it right away. Thanks again for your stay!

This was a nice little basement home with large bedrooms. Had a nice size den with comfortable sofa and chair and a desk with an extra monitor. The kitchen area was a good size with a table and 4 chairs. It was a perfect spot for the 2 of us (adults). The host was quick to respond and very friendly. The entrance to the unit is behind a house down a gravel path. You cannot roll a suitcase down the gravel path. So be especially careful with heavy suitcases. Would definitely stay again!

Very cozy, comfortable, clean, and modern. Accommodation was very spacious and had so many amenities! We even had access to a back patio which looked out to a beautiful yard. Host was very gracious. He allowed to check in a little earlier. He also responded in a very timely manner when we messaged him. We would definitely return!!!

The place was spotless! There is a gravel walkway around the side of the house to get to the rooms- I was fine, but anyone with walking issues might have difficulty as one cannot fool their suitcase wheels on the gravel. Other than that it was great!

Our stay was great! The location was excellent. We loved being just minutes from downtown Raleigh. The surrounding neighborhood itself was quiet and even had a few neighborhood cats roaming around.We spent a lot of time in the kitchen, and we appreciated the multitude of appliances! There was even a blender. However, the stove in the kitchen was abysmal. Even after reading the manual and the host coming down to help us, we could barely get a simmer going.As for the entirety of the place, it looks exactly the same as in the photos. The washer and dryer were clean and looked new, but note that the washing machine should not be run at the same time as the shower to prevent the grinder pump from overflowing. Just don’t forget to bring your laundry pods and dryer sheets!The host was fantastic! We appreciated Angelo coming to help us with the stove. He’s very responsive, especially when it comes to calls. We messaged to ask if we could check in a bit earlier. He got back to us quickly and even let us check in early!The place had everything we needed, and we enjoyed our stay!

Very comfortable place. Great outdoor lounging area. Neighborhood was not the greatest but we felt safe at all times. Only one roll of toilet paper was my only concern
