About this property

Oakwood near downtown with Nespresso, Bikes & Bidet.

This is short-term model. We only rent the studio for 2-nights at a time. If you want to stay here longer, you will have to make a separate booking for another 2-nights. We will however provide fresh towels after 2-days. time.

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 comfy sleeping experience that we have found. The pillows are pretty comfy too.
The Studio has lots of lights all on dimmers and a 9' ceiling. The Studio has a patio looking out onto a landscaped courtyard with comfortable chairs and over-head fan and mood lighting to help you enjoy happy hours 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.

Wonderful Pied a Terre!

The location is perfect, close to downtown and within walking distance of great restaurants. Street parking was never a problem. The owners thought of everything for our convenience and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again when we visit Raleigh.

Excellent place in great neighborhood

I got this place for my parents who are traveling to the area for medical stuff. The host Tom was extremely accommodating and very kind to my parents once they arrived. My folks slept very comfortably in the studio apartment and were so glad to have a nice neighborhood to walk their doggie in. Highly recommend!! My parents plan to stay again in the future for their medical appointments.Thank you so much Tom!!:)

Charming Studio Stay

We visited for the Hopscotch Music Festival and probably couldn’t have found a better place to stay. The studio is very cute, comfortable, and makes great use of a small space. It’s a short walk to downtown and nearby restaurants. The owner was very kind and responsive and we felt very welcome. Highly recommended!

Fantastic stay

We went into Raleigh to meet up with family nearby on our way to New Bern. We were excited to stay in this studio because it looked great. We were NOT disappointed. Everything was so well thought out. The host was very communicative and was a gracious host. The property was exceptionally clean and the amenities were as listed. They even had coffee and fresh cream for us! We would 100% stay there again when we visit Raleigh. Probably one of the best stays we've had. Would have loved to stay longer!!

Quick trip to the Raleigh area for our daughters baby shower. Great neighborhood…walking distance to coffee, ambience, good food. The unit is small, but thoughtfully appointed and Tom was a thoughtful host programming my husbands favorite music to be playing in the unit for our arrival after a longer than usual travel day. We will definitely consider staying there again:)

About the host

Host profile image
Colette and I have been doing this for 5-years and have had over 2000 travelers pass thru our 5 various editions and have had the Super-host/Premier host status from early on. 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.
