Lounge at a Fresh Mill House in Walkable Downtown Carrboro

HeatherRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a sweet gem! Our walk up apartment was just as described and better! Cute and cozy, with also a funky mid century modern vibe. Very comfortable seating and bedding, a kitchen with lots of extra condiments, etc for coffee, tea, and sandwiches (mustard/ketchup/ mayo packets), there is even a desk set up with a printer (we did not use). Plenty of storage and a full washer and dryer available. We were situated on a quiet, dead end street, so literally no traffic, other than some foot traffic due to the connection to a bike trail that took you straight up to the Saturday am Farmers Market. We had a scrumptious dinner at Glass Half Full, not even a 3 min walk from our spot, plus we had the breadth of Carrboro's fun downtown shopping and other eateries less than 3 blocks from us, and Chapel Hill and UNC is right there as well. Everything was wonderful, Beth is an extremely responsive host. I cannot say enough! Thanks for a terrific weekend in my favorite town!

A spacious living area features a gray sectional sofa and matching ottoman on polished hardwood floors. A flat-screen TV is mounted on the wall, and a dining table is positioned in the background. Soft lighting creates a cozy ambiance.

Walk to Duke or Downtown- 1st floor

MollyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

There was a slight misunderstanding with another guest upon check-in, but Scott was super responsive and things were clarified and settled quickly. And the place was wonderful! We were in town for a conference at Duke, and we so appreciated being able to walk to campus and to restaurants from our home base. We even remarked a number of times that it was a pity we were so busy - we barely got to enjoy the comfy Airbnb! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was seamless. I highly recommend this place if you need to be at Duke for whatever reason; if I’m ever back in Durham, I’ll definitely try to snag it again!

A modern living room is highlighted by a spacious sectional sofa in grey fabric, complemented by a fabric armchair. Natural light filters through three tall windows, illuminating a circular wooden coffee table at the center. A sleek ceiling fan hangs above, enhancing the airy atmosphere.

Downtown Durham Retreat

JaneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I was in town for my college reunion and Lucy's place is hands-down a superior option to a hotel! The location is great, in walking distance to Duke's East Campus and in the heart of a revitalized downtown Durham. The space itself is large and bright, with all modern fixtures/appliances and comfortable bedding, at a fair price. Would definitely stay here again!

TobyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Amanda's place was exactly as described. It was clean and had everything we needed. Perfect location! A ton of entertainment and restaurants within walking distance. We were in town for a softball series at UNC Chapel Hill, and this place was a 10 minute easy drive from campus. Amanda was very responsive and friendly. We would definitely book again!

Our stay at Emily's place was great! She was extremely responsive to all our questions. The location is very walkable to Duke's East Campus, which was very convenient for us. The place is clean and has everything we needed for a peaceful stay.

A comfortable sofa is positioned against a neutral wall, accompanied by decorative pillows in orange and white. Next to it, a colorful upholstered ottoman adds a playful touch. A wooden coffee table sits in front, with a bookshelf filled with books visible in the background.

Bright spacious 2 BR, 8 min to UNC Chapel Hill

ZuoweiRating, 5 stars5 months ago

I spent about 8 weeks at this place and was very satisfied with its location, peaceful neighborhood, size and facilities. The unit is spacious and has everything needed for daily life. It's also very convenient to grocery stores, easy access to highways and a very enjoyable drive through the forest to Duke University. Kathryn is warm-hearted, very friendly and willing to help whenever needed. Highly recommended.

The Durham III • Vibe 8726

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews3 months ago

This was a great place for the price. Located so close to many restaurants and shopping as well as equidistant to UNC and Duke. A few times I could hear the upstairs neighbor walking around but it was not loud and never lasted more than a minute. Overall, a quiet, peaceful stay. Very comfortable bed, too.

Patricia left clear instructions for checking in, staying, and getting around town. She was flexible with our check in time and gave plenty of local recommendations. The place was as described and pictured: clean, peaceful, private and located right in town. Our stay was short and easy, but Patricia left plenty of instruction and was available in case something went wrong. Couldn't recommend more

Park @ the Hill-5 miles to UNC

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews4 weeks ago

This studio is a gem! Pristine - quiet- so comfortable and stocked with too many amenities to list! The hosts have designed this space with not only functionality, but also with a homelike feel and have successfully anticipated possible needs of their guests. Even though I didn’t need much I appreciated the drawer of multiple toiletry options in the bathroom and multiple extras in the kitchen ( coffee filters, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, food storage options, and cleaning products. I was able to prepare several meals and found all pots and utensils needed. I enjoyed a daily walk throughout the neighborhood. I spent most of my time around the UNC campus which was about a 15 minute commute. . This will be my first choice when in the area.

ModernPet Friendly Apt: Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill

The apartment was perfect! The work space was great and it already has a display screen. Mohmeet checked in during my stay and was very proactive. I will definitely stay here again. The walls are pretty thin. It didn’t bother me, but if you’re a light sleeper it could be a bother.

Pvt Apartment Centrally Located

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviews1 month ago

We came into town for a hockey game at Lenovo Center and were pleased to find how close we were to the arena! It's not a super walkable area, but is a super easy and quick drive. Shannon gave us detailed and helpful instructions with photos on how to access the parking spot and get into the house, which was great. We were also granted early check in, which was an awesome surprise! The apartment itself is beautiful! Perfectly decorated, comfortable, modern, and clean. It is bright and airy, with live plants and a spacious shower. There was even fresh coffee and a filter already waiting in the pot for us! Such a thoughtful detail. The HVAC and multiple ceiling fans made for a comfortable climate. The space felt private, as it is fully detached from the house and above the garage. The parking space is in the drive immediately below, so a convenient spot for unloading bags. We would definitely choose Shannon's place again on our next Raleigh trip! Much better than a hotel!

Sunny efficiency in historic home

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviews3 weeks ago

I was in town for a weekend trip by myself, college reunion. Perfect spot for an individual or couple who plan to be out and about doing other activities. The room is comfortable and spacious and the bathroom is as well, so if you do want to just sit around and watch TV you can. More affordable than some of the local hotels. Though other people stay there, I don't think I ever saw anyone else, and I used the laundry and iron, etc. Great solution for a reunion and about half as much as what 21c or other nice hotels were charging. Such a beautiful part of town especially in the spring, and right next to east campus.

Bull City Escape! Minutes to Duke & Downtown

ShellieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I stayed in this unit with my small dog for a month, and it was a super comfortable place for a long-term stay! The kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook in, the bed is comfy, and the space is great. The neighborhood is safe, walkable, and convenient. Parking was never an issue. Adam and Rachel were always VERY responsive when issues cropped up—I really appreciated how quickly they got back to me with a resolution. The only thing to note - the walls in the unit are very thin, so you will 100% hear your neighbors—just a reminder to be considerate if you choose to stay here. I’d absolutely stay again!!

A comfortable sofa is adorned with decorative pillows, positioned next to a modern wooden coffee table. Sunlight streams through the windows, highlighting the textured area rug underneath. A large leafy plant adds a touch of greenery to the cozy living space.

TiaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Jay C was a wonderful host! He made my experience from booking to checking out a smooth one. I will say he is the most responsive host I’ve booked with and even checked in on me and my friends. This home is beautifully decorated and looks exactly like the pictures. The bed slept comfortably, the patio is relaxing, the neighborhood is quiet, and plenty of stores/restaurants close by. Do not hesitate to book!

Charming Apartment, 1 block to Duke East Campus!

MeghanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The apartment was so cute, clean, comfortable and conveniently located to downtown and East Campus. Amy & Elizabeth were incredibly responsive, even at odd hours, and gracious as to stock the fridge with my creamer of choice to find upon my arrival along with an adorable welcome message for me. It was a lovely place to land for a few days while visiting my daughter and I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Elizabeth and Amy!

100 Year-Old Historic Brick 2BR Loft -Large Patio1

AshleyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We enjoyed our stay. Each room had a white noise machine ! (Bonus… 💫) The apartment has a beautiful boho-chic aesthetic, coupled with the exposed brick and a vintage industrial feel. We highly recommend and would definitely make a return trip! The only drawback was completely out of the owners control and more of a heads up for other tenants: The covered garage is around the corner, so we advise that you unload your items in front prior to parking. 🫶🏾💜

We enjoyed our stay! The location was only 0.6 miles to the Historic Ballpark, so we had a lot of options without needing to worry about parking. The place was clean and comfortable, and was quiet due to it being above the separate garage in the back. Woudl definitely;y stay here again! Thanks, Carrie!
