The property is in an great location if you are attending an event at NC State or the Raleigh Coliseum. It's on the second floor (which I might have missed in the description). However we heard little of the neighbors. The apartment could use a paint freshen but was clean. Beds are really comfortable as was the living furniture. Kitchen could use a few more amenities - as in a spatula, pitcher, mixing bowl - for those who prefer to rustle up a quick meal rather than eat out.
I am a frequent traveler.
I booked this place to stay after traveling 10 hours for my sisters graduation.
It was not in the best neighborhood and it was very run down.
Mold in the bathroom, especially around the bath tub and there were roaches crawling on the cabinets and walls. I left after the first night. I have food and a 5 month baby and was not about to stay in a place like that that had bugs! The owner messaged me to check and see how things were and I told him I left after the first day and why. He refused to refund me for a day and acted like it was not that big of an issue. VERY UNPLEASE AND WILL NEVER RETURN.
Great things about this listing:
- Check in process and communication with the host was great. He even checked in after our first night to make sure everything was ok, and we alerted him to some of the issues we were experiencing but told him there was no need to come to the property.
- The location was super convenient.
- The space was very nicely laid out for a weekend trip with friends.
Cons:
- The smell of old cigarette smoke was unmistakable.
- A deep clean of the whole place, including the furniture, would go a long way to spruce up the place, as well as some maintenance on the bathroom fixtures.
- There was a lot of cockroaches throughout the entire place. We alerted the host of the bugs and he offered to come check on the property but we declined. The downstairs neighbors were moving out, likely increasing the activity of the bugs but there were more than we felt comfortable with. We threw the trash out every time we left the building as recommended by the host to hopefully reduce their numbers.
Condo was exactly as ad described. All our needs were met for 2 day stay. Quiet neighborhood and we felt safe. Communication with Tom was fast & easy. We had no major issues during our stay.
The house smells like cigarettes and it is not in the best location. People blasting music in the apartment below this one throughout the night even on week days. The owner also said he would accommodate us by letting us checkout late on our last day, but then when the day came he said he wanted an extra $40 for us to stay or we had to leave, making us find somewhere to go with all of our luggage hours before our fight. Highly do not recommend staying here.
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
No idea why this a listing
The pictures are not accurate. I felt like this was a property that should not be a VRBO. VERY shabby. One night there was a car-repo at 1am. I do think the host was nice but it was nothing like I thought it would be.
Lovely place, I will rent again! Everything I needed was present. Grocery store close by too. I have just a few things to add about this unit. The couch sits very low and may be difficult to get up from. There was one small roach but it seemed like he had encountered some pesticide cuz he did not move swiftly. No big for me cuz I only saw one. But some folk may freak out. Biggest part as a woman traveling alone, I Felt safe. Shower was nice however hard to get it to work correctly.
Tom was great. Easy to find, easy to access. Nicely staged. Can get to anywhere in Raleigh from this location. Property could use some maintenance. Couple of ceilings are pealing, towel bar is broken off, a few other items just need some love. It is cozy and convenient.
Bonito lugar, excelente ubicaciĂłn si corrigieran los siguientes detalles serĂa perfecto: cama del cuarto principal
Incomoda, puerta necesita reparaciĂłn, equitaciĂłn de cocina incompleto , la zona comĂșn para lavar la ropa en estado deplorable
I rated this 5 stars for the value. For the cost of a budget motel, you get an entire 2 bedroom condo! I would actually lower my rating of the price ever increases. But the issues to make aren't complaints and seem 'nit picky' for the cost. If you're looking at this price-point, you'd be very satisfied with this property.
The property was adequate for our needs but was definitely not a 5 Star experience. The host was great and communicated well and the place was clean, but the location was not that great and the features of the unit were either out of date or very low end.
Our host was very attentive and friendly! There were a couple little issues with the bathroom (broken towel bar, tub faucet/drain) but when they're fixed this rental will be awesome. Thanks for your hospitality!
We stayed Easter weekend so we could visit friends in the area. Tom was super friendly and easy to work with. The property was just as described and perfect for our stay.
