Durham Stay
We were placed on 2nd floor unit; unit flooring noisy in all rooms. Metal staircase to enter/exit unit slippery from morning dew. Entrance between living room and kitchen missing threshold but carpeting tacks still present which surprised socked feet. Unit smelt musty with hint of urine upon first entering; we purchased multiple air freshners on our own to mask smell until we checked out. Multiple blinds torn.
Unit very clean but shows wear/tear in walls/ceilings. Kitchen and bathroom appearing to have been renovated with new countertops, sinks, etc.

Just Okay ...
We've generally had good luck with VRBO, but this location was a disappointment. When entering there was a terrible musty smell as well as a strong urine odor around the toilet and in the bathroom. We purchased some air fresheners and it seemed to improve. The apartment definitely needs to be repainted – there was flaking paint on the ceilings and the walls were damaged in a number of places. In addition, the kitchen window is jammed open and the refrigerator made annoying grinding noises, nonstop. The window blinds were cheap/broken. We felt we paid too much money for such a poorly maintained location.

UNC Graduation
This property worked for what we needed for our daughters UNC graduation. Took us around 30 minutes to get to the campus with traffic. We were surprised with the steep all metal stairs, missed that in the description. Loved the small balcony off the master bedroom.
