Large space comfort and convenience!
Had plenty of room for us and was super close to down town. This was a great spot to stay

Rockwood Oasis Studio BR Full Bath no kitchen
Wonderful stay! The furniture offered nice seating with a beautiful view out to the back garden. Margaret was kind enough to leave our some snacks which helped me for my early morning days! There's also aromatherapy and coffee available, such a nice touch! 10/10 can't recommend enough!

Forest Park 2BR/2BA by Glenwood, walk to downtown
Patrick has a great location, close to downtown restaurants and shopping areas. It is quiet and I loved having the full kitchen to cook in. Wifi was fast and reliable. Having the Village District within walking distance was nice, since it has so many shops and restaurants and you don't have to worry about parking. I had a great time while I was there!

Carrboro/Chapel Hill/UNC Studio
This place is super cute! You feel like you’re staying in a tree house because there is so much green! The unit itself stays very nice and cool and is very cozy. Bed is very comfortable and the linens were great also! Would definitely recommend if it’s just one or 2 people

Comfort and Convenience in Carrboro.
We spent a couple of nights here while visiting family. This is a lovely little private spot. Very clean, comfortable and has the amenities anyone would need. Surrounded by birds and nature yet very close to restaurants and things to do. Susan was very helpful and friendly. You won't be disappointed if you book this spot. We hope to come back!

Walkable Spacious Sanctuary w Spa Amenities
This felt like staying at a spa, and felt secluded despite being just a minute walk from everything in town (venues, restaurants, farmers market, etc) Francesca was communicative and helpful and friendly. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Spacious Apartment. Walk to UNC Hospital & Campus!
2nd time staying at Mary's place: it was so good last time around that I had to come back rather than consider any Chapel Hill hotels. So convenient to South Campus and particularly the Business School and Hospital. Place is a gem as it's in a beautiful house with a private area separate from the regular living quarters. Mary is very clear with instructions, and the unit is comfortable and spacious. It's not walkable to Franklin Street but I'd rather be closer to campus than to downtown.

Private retreat close to Chapel Hill!
This was our third stay at Emily and Scott's place over several years and it remains a spacious, clean and comfortable space to stay. our plans altered since our initial booking and Emily was quick to suggest the best way to ensure our needs were met. Overall, a very pleasant base for our stays in NC visiting family in the local areas.

Secluded 2 bedroom MIL apartment w/own yard.
Very good value, very clean and comfortable. Photos are accurate, check in and check out were super easy!

One bedroom studio suite
The airbnb is even nicer in person than the pictures on the posting! The most charming airbnb I’ve ever been in! Super clean, and everything is labeled to make things easy to figure out. Jon and Heather gave me great recommendations for food to try around the wedding I was in town for. But it was hard for me to want to go out and not stay in because how cozy the place is! Absolute beautiful landscaping on the back patio that makes you feel like you’re in a majestic forest. And the sky views in the living and dining area were my favorite! It rained the nights I was there so I willingly slept on the couch to enjoy the rain. Literally my favorite airbnb I’ve ever stayed in!

Peaceful + Modern Private King Suite in Midtown
This was a great air bnb for my birthday trip to Raleigh! It’s a cute little suite that appears to be located right under the hosts house. But- we never heard them above us. It was very quiet and private. The bed was very comfy, she left us snacks, provided me flexibility with check in. It was close to everything I wanted to do in Raleigh. Located in a cute and quaint area. The host was very communicative and sweet! Would gladly book again. I seen other reviews saying the shower was small but me & my husband are plus size people and we fit in fine so I think those people are being dramatic. Lol! We had a great time!

Luxe Guest Suite w Pool (Historic, Downtown)
This place is an absolute gem. Sarah and her family have put so much care into making you feel like you're in heaven here. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by elegance and comfort. The bathtub is enormous and perfect for a relaxing soak. I slept like a rock. You will feel like royalty with all the thoughtful touches, from the well-stocked kitchenette to the selection of fascinating books and the big TV for winding down. There’s so much space to breathe and unwind, and the gorgeous porch was my favorite spot to enjoa peaceful meal. Also loved the pool where you can float and gaze up at the trees. Pure magic! The location is in a safe, friendly neighborhood and is within walking distance to downtown Hillsborough and the riverwalk, which makes it so easy to explore the area. Truly a beautiful, serene place. Can’t wait to come back soon!

*NEW* Scandinavian Private Suite near Downtown
We had such a wonderful stay at Walt and Hadley’s place! From start to finish, they were some of the most thoughtful and accommodating hosts we’ve ever experienced. The space itself was cozy, beautifully decorated, and so well laid out — they made excellent use of the space and it felt like a true home away from home. The location couldn’t have been more ideal for exploring Raleigh. We were close to everything we wanted to check out, which made the weekend feel super easy and enjoyable. What really made the experience special, though, was the warm hospitality. Walt was incredibly communicative and generous with his time, sharing helpful insights about the area and what it’s like to live in Raleigh (we’re considering a move, so this meant a lot to us). He even chatted with us in the backyard and offered a flexible checkout time since there wasn’t a guest arriving the next day — a kindness that made our final morning feel relaxed and unhurried. Truly one of the best Airbnb experiences!

Private suite with kitchenette. Walk to downtown!
Terry’s place was the nicest Airbnb we have ever stayed at. Clean, beautifully decorated, and spacious. Very comfortable bed, and great location - walkable and lovely!

Poolside basement studio
Laura‘s place was clean and quiet and it was exactly as listed. There was easy access to the basement and plenty of room. The bed was really comfortable and the amenities were in place. She communicated very well and timely to any requests. She went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable and was available if I needed anything. I would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay in the Wake Forest area.

1 bdrm Guest Suite near UNC with private entry
We had an issue with the door code but Shannon responded very quickly and resolved it. Her place was very clean and nicely decorated and it is a 25 minute walk into town. We would definitely stay there again.

The Garage Oasis~Walkable~Pets~Downtown~Unique!
A great place to stay for a quick trip! Lots to do nearby!

Forest Garden Suite - Private studio in the trees!
Liza made us feel incredibly welcome in the Forest Garden Suite - an incredible location that looks out into the woods where we were lucky to spot some beautiful local wildlife. Liza was extremely accommodating and flexible with us - which we hugely appreciated and would really recommend- Thank you!!

Aztec Style Earthy Guest Suite
I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at Gabe's Airbnb! The property was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and in a great location. From the moment we arrived, it felt right at home. The check-in process was seamless, and Gabe was very responsive. The space was beautifully decorated and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a charming and hassle-free experience.

Studio Apartment - Downtown | Yard & Pet Friendly
Jason was incredibly responsive and was able to accommodate 2 people perfectly. The place was clean including the bathroom. (If you're tall, the shower may be a tight squeeze but not too bad) It is about a 20 min walk to downtown, it is perfect for a scooter ride or a bike. About 35 min walk to Dorothea Dix Park. The neighborhood has lots of trees and greenery. Also enjoyed the comics to read inside.

Convenient 1-Bedroom Apartment w/ Private Entrance
Our second time staying with Nathan and Cristy while visiting family. Everything you need as listed with little extras like good coffee, some snacks, access to cleaning supplies and easy to follow instructions for things. Great place!

The Modern Suite | Private entrance to bed & bath
Wonderful stay while I was traveling through the area exploring the triangle area! Very peaceful and beautiful neighborhood, I felt right at home and safe. Special mention: the water pressure in the shower was the MVP.

Tasty and quiet hidden gem in Midtown Raleigh
Staying in Molly and Bill’s place was a delight. They were kind and gracious hosts from check in to check out. They were so flexible and helpful with our arrival and departure, even when we had airline changes mid-trip. The apartment was very comfortable and cool even though it was near 100 degrees outside some days. The covered entrance was super helpful for deliveries. We have recently been on a lot of trips and this shower had the hottest and most water pressure of any place. It was so great. The kitchen was lovely and new with lots of super helpful every day need type condiments. Can’t thank them enough for making our trip to NC so homey.
