Heather’s place is one I have stayed at countless times! She is a gracious host with great tips about this city she loves! The house is quiet, well equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood has always been safe and quiet. It is an easy drive to much of the city. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling through the area who is looking for a place to rest and relax without worry! Thank you to Heather for always having a place for me to stay! It has been a pleasure knowing you and your wonderful family all of these years!

Loft near Duke Campus & Hospital

AlfiyaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We stayed at Christopher and Alicja’s condo for a week. The condo was clean, airy and spacious and it was actually more spacious than the pictures portrayed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The flat is well equipped and has everything for a comfortable stay (even a kettle which we as tea drinkers appreciated hugely! :)) Christopher and Alicja are wonderful hosts, very helpful and friendly. Thank so much for having us!

JulianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved our stay at Zelda's place. We have been coming to Durham for many years, to see an aged relative, and we agreed that Zelda's was the most restful and hospitable of the places we have stayed. Check-in and out was seamless and communication was very easy and clear. The space consists of two rooms, each of which is attractively arranged as a little living room/bedroom, in restful, earth-toned decor that is uncluttered and aesthetic. The space makes up the front rooms of a house on a quiet side street and has a lovely garden and front yard. It is well-designed, organized and very clean. We felt very secluded, protected, safe, and happy there. We had to be a little creative with breakfast, but with a coffee-maker, fridge, and microwave, it worked out fine. The bathroom was large and very clean. We enjoyed the lovely morning sunlight. Had we stayed longer, we would have enjoyed the books, as well. Strongly recommended.

Private room in Durham

Cozy & Thrifty - Yellow Room (close to downtown)

KolbrúnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I had the loveliest stay at Mary Anne's House. Both Mary Anne and Kim (plus the cats and dog) are so welcoming and nice. The room offered peace and a quiet atmosphere/tranquility that I appreciated after long days. The coffee machine and a bit of breakfast in the kitchen corner on the 2nd floor wasn’t too bad either 😊 In addition, the cozy neighborhood is very well situated and most things within a walking distance. All in all, I had a great experience during my visit to Durham and would without a doubt recommend staying at Mary Anne’s place.
