Thank you very much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure to host you in our home during your family weekend. I am very happy to know that you felt comfortable and that you enjoyed the location, the cleanliness, and the attention during your stay. I would also like to sincerely thank you for being exemplary guests: very respectful, calm, organized, and careful with the property. You left the house in excellent condition, just as it was delivered to you, which is always greatly appreciated. Communication with you was clear and pleasant at all times, and without a doubt you were 10 out of 10 guests. It would be a great pleasure to welcome you again anytime you decide to return to Durham.

This was a really amazing place to stay while we attended a wedding. The place was immaculate very well kept and beautifully done. We had a great time getting ready and going to all our events which was at Duke University and pretty close by. Thanks again to the hosts for a wonderful experience on VRBO.

Dipty and their family were exceptional guests. From the very beginning, they showed themselves to be respectful, responsible, and attentive to every house rule. They took great care of the property, treating it as if it were their own home, which is truly appreciated as a host. They left the house in excellent condition—very clean, organized, and in perfect shape. Their stay was smooth and peaceful, with no issues at all, and communication was always clear and respectful. Without a doubt, they are a highly recommended family. I would be more than happy to host them again anytime. Thank you very much for your stay—it was truly a pleasure having you in my home.

This was a great place to stay for our visit to Durham and a Duke basketball game. Yolanda was a great host with almost immediate responses to any questions we had. There were a lot of excellent dining and cocktail options within a short drive or uber ride. The covered parking was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

The house is very nicely furnished and decorated. It's clear that care was taken in updating the home. The house was also very clean. The bed was comfortable. Loved being able to put my car in the garage. The house is on a busy road and you can hear the cars so if the road noise might bother you then bring earplugs to sleep.

The house was beautiful, exactly as advertised, and spotlessly clean. The bright, all-white interior felt calm and welcoming, and it made a wonderful space to relax and get creative in. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, with great communication throughout the stay. I’d definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and inspiring place to stay.

Let me start by saying the host is great, and very responsive. The house is very clean and nicely decorated, even had a Christmas tree and holiday decor. The home is also very conveniently located for shopping at the Tanger in Mebane, and a short drive to the Crabtree Mall in Raleigh.

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the Christmas decorations, the cleanliness, and the location. I always do everything with great care so my guests can feel comfortable and well-received. You are welcome back anytime. Thank you again for your stay. I wish you very happy holidays and a wonderful New Year. Yolanda Marquez

The house was clean and nice. The property was just the size we needed. Parking was good and the driveway was large so I could turn around and I didn’t have to back onto the busy street. The street was the downside to our stay. Lots of traffic noise and was right on the corner of a busy intersection. Not a reflection of the property owner just something we didn’t anticipate.
