Our cozy (perfect for 1-2 guests), studio is tastefully appointed and located above a detached garage. Every detail has been thought through including ultra quiet garage door opener). You have your own w/ separate, very private entrance on the same property as our single family home in Old Irving Park in Greensboro that will allow you to come and go in complete privacy. You'll love that our safe, tranquil, wooded setting is close to restaurants and shopping and is convenient to your destination in Greensboro. Ample parking in the driveway or on the street. We're pet friendly too!

We love pets and most are welcome. There is a one-time $30 charge per stay for your furry family member. We only ask our guests to keep pets off the bed or couch. We realize this may be difficult but it really helps with keeping the furnishings cleaner and in overall better condition. We hope our guests understand.
Our guests can access the property by way of a lighted stone walking path. Access includes use of an outdoor picnic table in a private wooded setting.
We are often home and available to address guest questions. We also communicate via text or phone call.
Our neighborhood is safe, quiet and pretty! We are fortunate to enjoy living on a non-through street so car traffic is very limited.

Linda and Stu were friendly and welcoming. The studio was perfect for us. Great location. Close to restaurants and shopping but tucked away in a nice quiet neighborhood.

The property is very nice. It's clean, quiet and close to restaurants.
Return visit, in great neighborhood convenient to downtown, restaurants, grocery stores and parks. Lovely space, perfect for one! I had everything I needed and Linda and Stu were great to work with. As always, a relaxing visit.
Located in a quiet neighborhood in central Greensboro, it’s close to a lot of things that we love. We’ve stayed at this same location three times and would happily do it again due to the ease of access and simplicity of the space. Highly recommended for anyone who needs an affordable space with minimal frills and amenities. The hosts are also very kind and responsive, though we needed anything extra on this trip.
What a lovely place to stay, easy to unwind and relax here. The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was really comfortable. I would love to stay here again on my next trip to Greensboro!

About the host
Hosted by Linda Spitsen
We started hosting short term rentals in 1996! Yes, you read that right! Back before the internet was a big thing. In those days we listed our property with a property manager who advertised in the local newspaper (remember those?).
We are avid travelers, so we know a lot about being a guests and about what it takes to design and execute a great, comfortable, private, refreshing stay.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it's quiet and safe. It's a great neighborhood for walking because it's surrounded on all sides by homes with interesting homes, some of which have architectural and historic significance.
What makes this property unique
We are located on a non-through street ("dead-end" doesn't sound very appealing so I'm opting for another phrase here!). This means there's no traffic and incredible quiet. Hence the name "tranquility".
