About this property
Oakwood near downtown with Nespresso, Bikes & Bidet.
This Studio is a pretty new space on the 1st floor of our townhouse. It has it's own private entrance which will only be used by our guests. Colette and I love to travel and the over-all bedding comfort is at the top of our list. We got turned onto Cozy Earth bedding, which offers the most comfortable sleeping experience that we have found. The pillows are cozy earth as well.
The Studio has lots of lights and most are on dimmers and we also have 9' ceilings. The Studio has a patio looking out onto a landscaped courtyard with comfortable chairs and a over-head fan and mood lighting to help you enjoy happy or whatever hours. The studio has a full kitchenette including micro, fridge, toaster oven, filtered water, and also a Nespresso maker with fresh cream and an assortment of teas. We also have 2-bikes that we will loan to our guests so you can enjoy the North Person Street Corridor and downtown Raleigh, which is less than a mile away. We are 2-blocks from the free R-LINE bus which cycles thru every 15 minutes from 7 am to 11 pm and takes you thru downtown Raleigh and back. The city also has Lime bikes and Gotcha electric scooters. You can pick up an Uber or Lyft usually with less than a 5-minute wait.
This unit has a 55' Smart Roku TV with a Samsung sound bar complete with subwoofer. We provide the major channels, like Netflix, Starz, Showtime, HBO, Amazon Prime, and too many more. The Pandora and YouTube are with out commercials. Access Google to find what stations are offered thru Spectrum. For example, Showtime is channel 550 in the guide. NFL is 310 and 13.
We often find that people leave early, if that is the case and you would like to get in early, say 10:ish or so, we will work with you.
We have had a few other VRBO units over the years and had the distinction of being the No. 1 rated short-term rental properties out of 466 in this area in the past. We also have 2 other properties currently being offered thru the VRBO site. Looking at these other properties, you should be able to get the flavor of what you might experience from our hosting style while staying at our "New Downtown Studio".
"Service animals" that are hypo-allergenic and smaller than 15 lbs. are OK, but no cats, I have an allergy to most dogs, i.e, German Shepherds, Retreivers, Labs, so those types of dogs are not allowed in our properties. Because of my allergies, I am exempt to the service dog rule that says anybody with a service animal can bring their pets into a property. I have covered this with VRBO and they have granted me a pass because of this affliction.
All eligible people, from everywhere are welcome in our property.

About the host
Hosted by tom edwards
Colette and I have been doing this for 5-years and have had over 3000 travelers pass thru our 5 various editions and have had the Super-host/Premier host status from day one. We always wanted to have some sort of a B&B and we got our wish when this short term rental business model came upon the scene.
We hope you will drop in so we can get a chance to meet you.

Why they chose this property
We moved back to this area of Raleigh three years ago from our former home in North Raleigh. We love the North Person Street corridor, Historic Oakwood, and being so close to downtown. There's always something to do and you can walk to many restaurants and attractions. This is a vibrant area of Raleigh with some of the best restaurants in the area within walking distance. Check out Stanbury, Crawford and Son, Oakwood Pizza Box, The Station, and Gringo A Go Go.
What makes this property unique
Just close enough to downtown, yet not too close. We are on the person Street corridor which has several bars and unique restaurants, a pharmacy, ice cream place and also a Krispy kreme, can't get better than that.
