About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oakwood near downtown with Nespresso, Bikes & Bidet.

This Studio is a pretty new space on the 1st floor of our townhouse. It has it's own private entrance which will only be used by our guests. Colette and I love to travel and the over-all bedding comfort is at the top of our list. We got turned onto Cozy Earth bedding, which offers the most comfy sleeping experience that we have found. The pillows are pretty comfy too.
We are set-up as a short-term business model and we mainly rent for a 2-nights, If however you would like to stay longer, we would charge an additional $50 per nite on top of the original nightly fee. So if you booked 5 nites, we would be adding $50 a nite or $150 for those extra 3-nites. We will however provide a clean-up and fresh towels for you after 2-days time. We can work this out at the time of your booking with VRBO or when you arrive.
The Studio has lots of lights all on dimmers and a 9' ceiling. The Studio has a patio looking out onto a landscaped courtyard with comfortable chairs and over-head fan and mood lighting to help you enjoy happy hours or whatever hours. The studio has a full kitchenette including micro, fridge, toaster oven, filtered water, and also a Nespresso maker with fresh cream and an assortment of teas. We also have 2-bikes that we will loan to our guests so you can enjoy the North Person Street Corridor and downtown Raleigh, which is less than a mile away. We are 2 blocks from the free R-LINE bus which cycles thru every 15 minutes from 7 am to 11 pm and takes you thru downtown Raleigh and back. The city also has Lime bikes and Gotcha electric scooters. You can pick up an Uber or Lyft usually with less than a 5-minute wait.

This unit has a 55' Smart Roku TV with a Samsung sound bar complete with subwoofer. We provide the major channels, like Netflix, Starz, Showtime, HBO, Amazon Prime, and too many more. The Pandora and YouTube are with out commercials. Access Google to find what stations are offered thru Spectrum. For example, Showtime is channel 550 in the guide. NFL is 310 and 13.

We often find that people leave early, if that is the case and you would like to get in early, say 10:ish or so, we will work with you.

We have had a few other VRBO units over the years and had the distinction of being the No. 1 rated short-term rental properties out of 466 in this area in the past. We also have 2 other properties currently being offered thru the VRBO site. Looking at these other properties, you should be able to get the flavor of what you might experience from our hosting style while staying at our "New Downtown Studio".

"Service animals" that are hypo-allergenic and smaller than 15 lbs. are OK, but no cats, I have an allergy to most dogs, i.e, German Shepherds, Retreivers, Labs, so those types of dogs are not allowed in our properties. Because of my allergies, I am exempt to the service dog rule that says anybody with a service animal can bring their pets into a property. I have covered this with VRBO and they have granted me a pass because of this affliction.

All eligible people, from everywhere are welcome in our property.

Fantastic Host

I stayed here for 3 days and the host, Tom, was not only extremely hospitable, but also communicative, flexible and kind with what I needed. The VRBO was lovely and exactly as advertised, and just what I needed for my stay. I think I have to get a bidet now as theirs was a game changer!! Thank you so much for having me and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Our stay in Tom's Place was exceptional. They had thought of every little thing a guest might need. We had the choice of a soft pillow or a firm one. Nespresso was a pleasant surprise. The bed and linens were comfortable as was the lounging area. My hubs especially enjoyed the well-appointed bathroom. The architecture of this space was well-thought out and obviously brought to life by skilled crafts people. Don't want to spoil all the surprises we found so you will be pleased and surprised too when you check in!

A+ across-the-board

We had the opportunity to spend two nights in this location. The host was amazing. Anything you could think that you would want or need for a short stay in someone else’s property was there. The location was great easy to get too many places. Highly recommend this place to stay for a couple as a nice getaway.

Wedding support team

Stayed here for a week to help with our son’s wedding, venue right behind the VRBO! Arrived to a lovely suite that was well appointed, quiet and restful space and close to so many conveniences. The host offered great restaurant suggestions as well as checked in on us to make sure we were all set. Tom was always available for our random text messages, giving advice for food or information. Loved the proximity to so much-walkable to downtown, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and bikes for the sporty! Next time we are in Raleigh and need a place to stay-this is the best!

A great find

The studio was a great find. Tom was a great host. Communication was fantastic. The Nespresso machine was an added bonus. Having coffee on the patio over looking the landscape was relaxing and peaceful. We couldn't ask for a better location, close to many great restaurants. You could leave your car behind and walk, which was good because parking was sometimes difficult to find. The best part is that it is only 2 hours from home. We will definitely be back

Raleigh is a “bike-able” city! I appreciated having access to a bicycle (included with my stay). Think about it…if you’re able, riding instead of driving has some benefits!

Great location in Raleigh

Studio was in a great location for where I needed to be that weekend- minutes from downtown Raleigh. The host was very communicative and responsive. There were some issues with getting in (code provided did not work) but we were able to figure out a solution. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great! It was pretty loud one evening from music playing above, but the host provided a noise machine and we just turned up the fans to drown out the noise. Room could use some dusting and the mini fridge was a bit leaky and did not keep food too cold. Good stay for my first time in Raleigh!
