Very positive experience. The house was immaculate, the backyard was spacious and fenced in for my two small dogs, host was communicative, and we were close to everything we needed (1 mile from Crabtree Creek trail, 5 minute walk to coffee, 1 mile walk to The Ritz for a concert). My favorite part was definitely the beautiful backyard, where we enjoyed a glass of wine while playing fetch with the dogs. Thanks for a great stay!

Liked: Location
We enjoyed our stay overall. The house itself was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and we appreciated that it is dog-friendly. There was also ample parking, which made things very convenient for our group.One of the biggest positives is the location. The home is close to a great variety of restaurants, bars, and local attractions. We especially enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, where many old industrial buildings have been thoughtfully transformed into unique restaurants, breweries, boutiques, and charming shops. It gave the neighborhood a lot of character and made for a fun place to walk around and discover.A few things prospective guests should be aware of: while the interior was very well maintained, the outdoor areas could use some upkeep and attention. Additionally, the property is located on a very busy road, so there is noticeable traffic noise throughout the day and evening.Overall, this is a clean, comfortable property in an interesting and convenient location. If you enjoy being near dining, shopping, and a vibrant local scene, it’s a great choice.

Great spot in Raleigh!

Wondeful stay with our 2 small dogs. Back yard is wooded, fenced and very nice for the pups. Great neighborhood, tons of stuff going on right nearby. Very busy road out front, be cautious pulling in and out.
