About this property

Craftsman near Downtown & Duke- Fabulous Location!

Summary:
Gorgeous Renovation of a 1920's Instagram-worthy Craftsman in the urban Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood. Brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, salvaged wood open shelving and beautiful granite counters. GREAT location! Walk/Lyft to all that makes Durham Durm: Motorco, Fullsteam, Ponysauraus, Rue Cler, DPAC, etc.!

The Space:
The luxurious designer leather couch in the living room is the perfect place to relax and watch your favorite show on the Smart TV. The Kitchen has everything you need to make an exceptional meal and plate it up beautifully. There is an eat-in table for 4 for more formal meals, which also doubles as a work space.
The unit is equipped with washer dryer and a laundry/utility closet with cleaning supplies. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy. The bath has a full tub/shower, and granite vanity. The bedroom has a plush queen bed, and is filled with natural light (but has blackout curtains too). From the bedroom you can access a lush fully-fenced courtyard with a bistro table, cafe lights, surrounded by trees and an historic stone wall. A gate from the courtyard also leads to your off-street parking area for a compact vehicle (or unloading).

We have a Smart TV with access to Netflix, your Amazon or Hulu account, and many other apps. We Cut the Cord on Cable, but offer YouTubeTV which functions similarly to Cable and offers tons of Live or On Demand Options!

Guest Access:
The front and back door have a keypad so you can arrive when convenient and come and go as you please.

The Neighborhood:
The Cleveland Holloway neighborhood has been dubbed "Durham's Front Porch" with good reason. It's a diverse, historic neighborhood with easy access to walk, bike or Lyft downtown, to the library & Central Park. This is an urban neighborhood and as such has foot traffic and mixed income neighbors.

Getting Around:
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 walkable to downtown if you prefer.

Other Things to Note:
This is one half of a historic Duplex. As such, we request that guests on both sides of the duplex be respectful with regard to noise, especially before 8am and after 9pm.

Interaction with Guests:
We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises.

We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a sudden urge for a new haircut or a desperate need for a donut, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen.

A lovely intimate house

I had the best week here in Durham. The house was a quick walk to DPAC, and had everything I could need. The host was very responsive and easy to reach. Definitely recommend!

First Time Stay - Durham

Our stay was amazing! The property location was great as we were able to walk to all parts of Durham easily. The parking in the back is tight but not bad if all 3 properties are not being rented. The only small issue we had was how easily we heard the voices and noises from the adjacent property. Would stay here again however!

Downtown Durham Craftsman

The location was perfect for walking to all downtown areas including the tobacco trail and American Tobacco campus! The home was very clean and kitchen easy to use. Bedding was nice and bed was very firm and low to the floor. We would stay here again when visiting our daughter.

I absolutely enjoyed my stay. This neighborhood is so beautiful and peaceful. The host paid attention to little things like providing coffee and fresh water in the fridge. I truly felt as if I was at home.

Clean, comfortable, coffee!

I’m a petite 62yo woman traveling alone. Felt safe and appreciated the ice cold water in the fridge and fixings for coffee on the counter. I enjoyed walking to Duke campus through warehouse district 3-4 miles walk. Would return here!

A sweet spot to land in Durham

I had such a nice stay in this convienently located spot in Durham. The place was super clean, nicely decorated, and the bed was comfy. It was an overall pleasant stay. I would definitely book this place again when in the Durham area. It is also close to some great places to eat. The hosts were very helpful, responsive, and informative.

Cozy Stay

Great cottage feeling, within a 10 min walk to downtown Durham. Very comfy couch, which in addition to the chilly weather during my stay made it a little hard to get out into the cold. But Durham was well worth it, and returning to something cozy was the cherry on top.

Durham stay

Great place to stay while visiting daughter/spouse and attending show at DPAC. We parked our car in the back private lot and walked everywhere - restaurants, DPAC, etc.! Dylan gave us great restaurant reviews. Lovely neighborhood and the house is exactly as in pics.

Duke Parents Weekend

Great property downtown Durham. Great location near Duke. Really nice to have a house so my daughter and her boyfriend could come hang with us while we were in town. Did not have the awkwardness of having only a hotel room or hotel bar to hang out and visit. Bonus: Saved a lot of money.

Home Away From Home

The property was a tastefully remodeled one bedroom duplex near downtown Durham. Clean and comfortable with parking on the street out front. I stayed here for 12 days due to work relocation. With a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities, I had everything I needed for day to day living. I didn't want to leave when my time was up, but the space was rented already so I had to go. Highly recommend this property.
