This house was perfect for a weekend down in Raleigh to visit my daughter. The layout was very open and a great place for people to gather. House was clean and had a lot of character. It also has a deck off the kitchen.Host was very responsive and it was pet friendly which is always helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!!!!
