This listing is for the primary house, and there is an additional "in law" suite at the back of the house with a separate entrance, also available for rent. You will have sole use of the large covered front porch while the back unit gets use of its own private back porch. The driveway is reserved for the back unit.

Guest Access:
You will be staying in the 1400 square foot main house- there is a keypad on the front door so that you can arrive when convenient, and come and go as you please. You can temporarily use the driveway for loading and unloading, but parking in the driveway is reserved for the back "mother-in-law" suite which has its own separate entrance.

The Neighborhood:
Historic Walltown is a diverse, mixed income, urban neighborhood with foot traffic. Please do not rent this home if you are not comfortable in a multicultural, urban setting as it will not be a good fit for you. The house is 1.5 blocks from the Duke East Campus walking path. The historic neighborhood is close to Duke's East Campus, 9th Street, Monuts & more!

Getting Around:
This house has easy access to I-85, NC-147 etc. Uber and Lyft are common in Durham so no worries if you don't have a car! There are also plenty of bus routes, and the neighborhood is walking distance to downtown if you prefer.

Other Things to Note:
As the home offers two separate units, we do ask guests to be considerate regarding noise, especially before 8am and after 9pm. The driveway is reserved for the back unit (though you can pull in temporarily to unload).

We have a Smart TV with access to Netflix, your Amazon or Hulu account, and many other apps. We Cut the Cord on Cable, but offer YouTubeTV which functions similar to Cable and offers tons of Live or On Demand Options!

Interaction with Guests:
We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises.

We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a sudden urge for a new haircut or a desperate need for a donut, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen.
