Excellent stay. The accommodations were beautiful--just as the photos show--and the setting along River Wear and close to all of historic Durham could not be better. Spent 5 nights here and every one a memorable treasure. The only knit to pic is the bar located near the back of the property--the side where the bedrooms are located. It advertises 6 outdoor screens for sports buffs, and the sports buffs were out, even in November. It was not a loud group who gathered, by sports bar standards. I think the owners are aware that they are located in a neighborhood with housing and try to be good neighbors. But even just people speaking in normal outdoor voices carried to the bedrooms. It would be good of the owners to let folks know about this. We always travel with earplugs and 10 hours of nature sounds we can play, and that did the trick. But folks who are not prepared to block out the noise might be disappointed--though I will say, the noise seemed to end quite early, even on weekends. I don't know if that was because it was chilly, or if the bar owners move people inside at a certain time. Anyhow, that was our only mild complaint. Another possibility: we have stayed at places that provide noise-deadening inserts that can slip into windows at night. Something like that might be something for the owners to consider in the future for the two bedroom windows. But that really is nit-picking. This is a lovely apartment and the owners were wonderful to work with.
