Quick Trip to Downtown Raleigh
The “Modern Backyard Studio” is perfect for a quick weekend away! The owner, David, was amazing, ensuring we were able to check in early as we had an event later that evening. Would absolutely recommend this cute and affordable studio for your next getaway!

Quick mother/daughter trip
My daughter and I came to Raleigh for a concert and quick mother/daughter trip. This little studio is ideally located in Raleigh with easy access to Durham as well. The place is just as described in the listing and located in a safe neighborhood within short drive to restaurants, etc. Highly recommend for two who don’t mind sharing a bed.. We were within

This is a great property in a prime location near Downtown Raleigh. I had a minor issue with the AC unit running out of refrigerant but the host fixed the issue promptly and prorated me for the inconvenience. I will definitely recommend this host and property to friends.

Super easy and reliable
I loved my stay! I’m pretty picky about where I stay so I had high expectations and they were all met. Very, very clean. I used to clean houses, so I know the ways people cut corners to give the impression that its clean when its not actually clean. The owner contacted me back very fast! The neighborhood was super cute, I felt really safe staying there. There was plenty of light as well as plenty of ways to keep the room private. There was a binder on the counter that tells you all of the information you need to know in a concise way.
