This house has easy access to I-85, NC-147 etc. Uber and Lyft are common in Durham so no worries if you don't have a car. There are also plenty of bus routes, and the neighborhood is walking distance to downtown if you prefer.
Other Things to Note:
• Separate Back Unit: Please be aware that this listing is for the main front house. There is a separate, occupied 'in-law' suite at the back of the property with its own private entrance and porch. The guest in that unit may walk up the shared driveway to access their space.

Had an enjoyable stay. The hosts were responsive and even shared alerts regarding impending weather in the area (it was awesome to have access to a gas stove should electricity go out!). Ample parking with clear instructions. The kitchen even has an electric kettle - epic for an avid tea drinker like myself. The hosts also ask for feedback to improve the experience. Feedback included a curtain for the front window, dusting/cleaning again prior to a rental, and providing food storage.

It was a good place to stay during homecoming.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
House was very clean (and more importantly it didn't smell like cleaning products!). Location was great - easy to get around town. We had zero issues getting into the house or parking. The street was quiet. We enjoyed the front porch street swing in the mornings while drinking our coffee from Joe Van Goughs.
