About this apartment rental
Cute little one bed room located in trendy Lakewood/Lyon Park. Minutes from Duke!
The unit is newly renovated, brand new granite kitchen counter tops, new tiled bath room, hard wood floors, new furniture, comfortable memory foam mattress, new plumbing, electrical, mini split air conditioning/heat, fiber speed WIFI, smart TV, off street parking for one car in driveway.
PLEASE NOTE: We are offering several identical listings on the same street. Pillows, rug, paintings, etc. subject to change.
While we are not likely to be onsite to welcome you or during your stay, we are easily accessible and timely in responding via the booking platform website/apps between 6am to 9pm EST. We can also be reached via text message or phone call in the event of an emergency. Our phone number will be provided prior to check in.
This home is one side of a duplex. We own both sides and both are rented strictly on Airbnb. The home is located on the border of the Lyon Park/Lakewood neighborhoods. We are close to Duke, downtown, Whole Foods, etc.
Durham is a diverse and ever changing city. If this is your first time to Durham, please be aware that you will see people of all walks of life. There are many renovated homes nearby and you will find most local residents to be friendly. Please be courteous and respectful to all neighbors.
Please park in the driveway to the right. Please enter up the front steps and use the door on the right (unit B).
The door uses the August Home smart lock and can be accessed by sending us your cellphone information prior to check in. Once you provide your cellphone and we add your number, you will receive a text message with additional instructions on how to download the app. Upon arrival to the front door, simply open the August Home app and press the circle to unlock the front door (the phone will sense the door lock via Bluetooth). We will also send you a unique pin pad code either as a backup or for primary use if you prefer not to download the door lock app.
In the event that technology fails, we have a backup lockbox hidden on site for emergency access.
There is only one step onto the front porch. Once inside, everything is on a single level. There are security cameras on the outside corners and front porch.
This space is the right side of a duplex separated by a center wall and accessed via a private entrance. The entire space is yours and no interior spaces are shared.
Once inside, the property opens to a living room with a couch, coffee table and smart tv where you can access your streaming services. The living room is open to the kitchen with barstool seating for two, new stainless steel appliances and basic pots, pans, cutlery, etc.
Down the hallway, you will find the laundry area equipped with a washing machine and dryer and a bathroom with a full sized tub/shower combo.
The bedroom has a closet space and comfortable king bed and privacy blackout curtains for a comfortable night's sleep.
This location is central to many attractions.
You can check the Durham transportation website for the local bus route and other transportation options.
Most guests opt to bring a car. Free parking for one cars is available onsite in the right side driveway. There may be additional street parking available within close proximity but is not guaranteed.

3 minute drive to Duke
17 minute drive to RDU airport
To ensure transparency and clear expectations up front, please note the following for all of our properties:
- We are pet friendly BUT all of our guests do not have pets or appreciate pet hair. Therefore, we charge an extra $57 pet cleaning fee that is passed on entirely to our cleaning crew. This ensures that they spend the extra time removing any pet hair from linens and towels, spend extra time cleaning baseboard trim, wiping fan blades, cleaning HVAC filters, etc. If you do not select "Add Pet" when booking and you stay with a pet, the $57 cleaning fee will be requested from you at checkout. Please select Add Pet in your initial booking to avoid this interaction.
- We absolutely prohibit any and all smoking and drug use at our properties. This behavior makes it extremely difficult to turnover the unit for a new guest likely arriving the same day of your departure. If we find that you have smoked in our property, there will be an extra $200 cleaning fee, you will receive a negative review, and you will not be able to book at our properties in the future. This is a non-negotiable. Do not book if you plan to smoke.
- No parties allowed or loud music after 8pm. Many of our properties are connected duplexes and out of courtesy for neighbors, we ask that there be no gatherings or loud music or unauthorized guests not listed on the reservation. If family or friends are stopping by, please kindly let us know ahead of time .

This stay was great for my overnight stay in Durham for work.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2025
Our stay here was just ok. It is truly an efficient minimalist experience. It was very clean and we appreciated the coffee. The bed was good, but bring your own extra pillows if you prefer sleeping on more than one,as there were only two pillows and there were two of us. Also, no extra blankets that we could find.If you are sensitive to fragrances, please know there were many different artificial fragrances in the house. It truly hits you very strongly when you walk in the door. From scented trash bags to very scented sheets… if you’re sensitive, this would be very offensive. Scents so strong that everything we brought back home smelled.In addition, the description says one step entry however there were a total of 16 steps to get into the house. And the driveway is a bit of a mess. We arrived in the rain and there were potholes and lots of mud and a very difficult time with the very steep driveway. No option of parking on the very narrow, crowded street.Ductless hvac in the master is quite loud when it turns on…the house is small enough that you can turn it off and the unit in the front of the house will be ok.What we thought was very steep, A 250 deposit was required. I had to message the host in order to get it returned when it didn’t post back to our card after a week of waiting. He said it should have posted but that he would have to put it through manually. He did so promptly but if I didn’t pay attention would I have ever received it? No outside pics on site.

It was a very clean, just renovated inside property was easy to get into. It’s in a fairly decent location to get to downtown Durham. I will definitely stay there again if I need a place to go if you’re looking for something clean and small this is a place for you.

This home was exactly what I needed for my stay in Durham. The proximity to Duke, great food, downtown Durham, and the Durham Bulls Athletic Park made for a fun stay.
The home itself is clean and the neighbors were welcoming and wonderful. I utilized the work space, and was more than comfortable with that furniture. All of the furniture was high quality and made for a welcoming environment.
I would stay here again, without reservation.
