Very comfortable home. Was exactly what we needed while taking my mother to a week of appointments at Duke University Hospital. Excellent location for dog walking and having a fenced in yard for them to play in. Jim was quick to respond with any questions and gives excellent recommendations. Highly recommend if you are in Durham for a long or short stay.

Great for family of Duke students

My freshman daughter had to have surgery and then needed a place to recuperate that was close to campus. This place worked great for us to get her back to class and her dorm. The kitchen was perfect for some home cooked meals.

We had a magnificent stay! Jim and Donna are great hosts. The lodgings were as good as pictured. We had a small dog with us and the fenced in backyard was perfect! Bed was very comfortable. Great kitchen. Convenient to great pizza, restaurants and Duke. The only negative was no doubt our own lack of knowledge because we couldn’t figure out how to get the channels on the television that we were seeking. We joked that we needed our nephew there with us to decipher LOL

Rosita, we are very clear in our description that this is a working class neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and the street is safe and quiet. We have hundreds of reviews on other platforms that address this. If you had told me about the floors while there I would have sent my cleaners back over. We strive for spotless units with all a guest needs to feel at home.

Great long term stay

My family and I stayed her for a month as we were waiting for our home to be move in ready. The unit is just as advertised, clean and welcoming. The unit is outfitted with everything you could need, especially for families - pack n play, toys, childrens books, legos. Everything is very well thought out. Jim and Donna were extremely helpful and available during our stay. Jim even brought our son extra toys half way through the stay. They were wonderful.

A winner!

We loved this cozy property (one of two side-by-side units in a duplex) on a quiet street. We appreciated the cheerful decor, the well stocked kitchen, the clear instructions everywhere, and the excellent AC. Don’t miss the charming creek trail down the street. Other than the sofa being a little soft and squishy, there’s nothing we’d change. We would definitely return.

Clean 2 bedroom

Nice unit in working class neighborhood. Mostly quiet except for some music being played loud on weekends (could hear inside unit, but not earth shatteringly loud). Nothing too late though. Cell signal is not the best, so activate Wi-Fi calling while staying here. Great experience overall.

Thanks for letting us know about the music. Sometimes that does happen. A year ago we added a Verizon Cell signal extender that has resolved Verizon issues. We also have AT&T Fiber 300 (300+mps up and down) for wifi calling and use. We send an email notification days in advance about using WiFi calling for the best service, and a notice on the refrigerator. Many thanks for your comments and great experience.

Clean and close to everything

Jim and Donna's property was perfect for our weekend in Durham. Two couples were in for a three-night run of concerts at DPAC, so we wanted the conveniences and space of a home. We chose their place because of its proximity to DPAC, and quickly realized how close we were to everything else: the greenway, coffee and dining, shopping, and yoga. We rode our bikes frequently--and the greenway is a nice (and FLAT) way to get to all of those conveniences. The home is perfect: all completely redone, fresh, and clean. It's well-equipped--you can tell Jim and Donna have thought of EVERYTHING their guests might need. We were very comfortable in this beautiful duplex. We met the neighbors, but never heard them. The neighborhood is transitional--it's definitely on its way to being the next healthy area--but we always felt safe and everyone we saw in the surrounding homes greeted us and were friendly. I highly recommend this rental for your time in Durham. WAY better than a hotel in price, cleanliness, and convenience.

Two cozy and wonderful weeks on Green St

While the property is indeed family friendly, we two senior citizens found it very friendly as well. Everything was clean, easy to use and there is a binder providing all the information you need. The location is great. There is a place for coffee, a sandwich shop, indoor and outdoor dining with live music...all within a 5 minute drive. And the Museum of Life and Science is less than 10 minutes away; which we also found enjoyable as adults without children. The neighborhood is well populated and friendly, leaving us feeling very safe and part of a community. One evening, there was a knock at our door and it was a man telling us our car trunk door was open and asked if he could close it for us. We found that very neighborly indeed. The owners couldn't have been better at responding to any communication we initiated as well as checking in at the start and end of our visit. Everything is just as described. Look at the pictures and read the description provided and there will be no surprises. We loved it!

Great location and space near Downtown Durham!

Fantastic location, close to Downtown Durham, with a charming walking trail close by so you can get to downtown by foot. Found the space quite charming and loved the addition of a washer/dryer. The kitchen was well-stocked with coffee pods and tea bags. Check-in, check-out instructions were clear. Plenty of towels and bathroom amenities. Thanks for a great stay!

"Jim and Donna, We really enjoyed staying in your home! You were a wonderful host by answering our questions about recommendations for places to eat, etc. Your place was clean and comfortable. So, close to Duke University where our Grandson attends. Plus, so close to all the activities surrounding Duke. The check-in was easy and the parking in front was convenient. Although we didn't use the kitchen much, it was fully equipped. We will differently stay again. Thanks again for sharing your home with us. Sandi & John
