South Raleigh Duplex Loft & 1.5 baths - Right!

AllieRating, 5 starstoday

This was one of the best places I’ve stayed at! The area was clean and looked even better than the photos. It was so serene and was a nice oasis away from our busy schedule. Rob was the perfect host who was responsive and friendly. He even invited us to the neighborhood block party he was hosting! We would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

Luxe 5BR Downtown Home w/3 Kings & Endless Fun!

TarynRating, 5 stars4 days ago

I cannot begin to describe how unbelievable this Airbnb is. It has to be the most beautifully designed property in Raleigh, if not the state. If you were to take the beauty of a boutique hotel and the funnest Airbnb you’ve ever stayed in and combine them, this would be its baby. She has a movie room outfitted with a popcorn and candy machine, a hot tub, a cereal bar, a crazy good coffee station, a Pac-Man machine and a treasure hunt! If that wasn’t impressive enough, her bedding, the backyard swing, all of the furnishings are like something out of a magazine. She must have spent forever planning everything she has put together and I am so glad she did. Last but not least, the location is amazing, it is so close to downtown and the street was quiet. To put it lightly, we loved staying here and look forward to coming back!

The Fig: downtown cottage suite w/ free parking

BrittanyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Perfect location. Close enough to walk but far enough that there was no noise issues. It was about 3-4 blocks to a lot of bars and restaurants. It was the "college" area so there was a lot of young adults on the streets at night but we were able to find spots that fit our crowd. We just used the space to sleep and get ready and it fit our needs perfectly. Lauren was responsive and a helpful host. We would stay here again.

Heart of Downtown Penthouse w/FREE Parking!

HeatherRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Only issue was there was no body wash at all, which wasn't a huge deal. We weren't thrilled having to do the cleaning tasks for checkout but I guess that comes with the territory of staying in an Airbnb over a hotel room. Overall wonderful place for my bach party, had a blast and made so many great memories!
