Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming home, it had lovely gathering spaces with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and parking for our group that came from all directions. The location was a new area of Durham for us, but very easy to get downtown and to both of Duke's campuses. Ended up being the perfect place for us to reconnect, highly recommend!
