The owner made my "last minute" reservation process easy and then was able to accommodate an extra night. The first floor living area has a well supplied kitchen and it was a "comfortable" venue for spending the evening (dinner, visit) with my son. It is a very convenient but quiet location and a real treat was the easy access to Bolin Creek Nature Trail. I will stay here again and would recommend to a friend. Pictures and descriptions on website are accurate. Great value and excellent owner service. Owner offers other services like airport connections and rental cars that I did not use but could be useful to other travelers.

I stayed there around end Oct 2014 while visiting my son at UNC. The entire booking process and communications with the owner was very smooth; Eric responded very prompted to questions raised. The hotel is located a good 15- 20 minutes walk to UNC but the walk was very pleasant at this time of the year. The furnishings (in Unit 1 where I stayed) were rustic but it served my needs. I like the large space of the kitchen, the landing and the bedroom. Apartment is fully equipped with washing machine and dryer which is great for an extended stay. The Farmer's Market and a huge book store is just 5 mins walk away, not to be missed folks. All in, good value for money.

- Quiet residential setting, apparently low-key and safe.
- Trees and greenery, no massive parking lots as is often the case with motels.
- Away from street traffic. Quiet neighbors (many seem to be associated with UNC). No local commercial traffic or noisy garbage pickup at 5 AM.
- At same time, restaurants and retail within walking distance.
- Short, easy walk from parking area to unit. If you're staying a while, you may have lots of luggage to unload.
- Spacious units. Easy for one guest to work in living room while others sleep in bedrooms. Two bathrooms in our unit.
- Full-sized complete kitchen and washer/dryer.
- Ability to adjust temperature of individual rooms' HVAC separately. Ability to get fresh air from open windows, which is actually feasible since neighborhood is quiet and safe.
- Thoughtful housekeeping. No heavy artificial fragrances from highly perfumed cleaning products as often used in hotels. Guest with asthma had no problem.
- On bus line, which runs pretty late and appears safe and well used.
- Easy, quick access to very pleasant, conscientious owner if needed. Not like motels with powerless night clerks (“Sorry there’s a dead cow in your room. I’ll leave a note for the manager and maybe he can do something about it tomorrow.”).
- Flexibility in arrival/departure times
