Apartment in North Raleigh
4.78 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsLovely two bedroom apartment, close to downtown.
WenboRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I give it 5 star, it not mean it’s good. there’s no hot water for the shower. I tried many times, but it just wouldn’t get hot. The other faucets have hot water, but not the shower, which is really strange. So, I haven’t showered for five days—it’s miserable. There are two rooms. The one near the door is nice and quiet. The inner room, however, is very noisy—every time the air conditioning turns on, it makes a loud noise. Plus, there’s no blanket in this room. I eventually found one in the cabinet, but it’s thin—not really a proper comforter. Pretty rough experience.

They added so many little things you might need…night lights, bottles of water, cold in refrig. Ice,shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soap,books, games snuggly blankets for curling up with a good book. It’s a perfect respite from the cares of life.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviewsThe Lakeside Magnolia
JohnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lacy’s house was clean, and spacious. We had a great time cooking in the kitchen and enjoyed hanging out on the deck. There was a tv in all of the common spaces so we could watch March Madness anywhere we were. This is a great place to stay if you are in the Sanford area. It is remote enough to enjoy some peace and quiet but is only a couple of miles from downtown restaurants.

Keith & MicheleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is an amazing home. My son kept saying that it was bigger than it looked in the photos!! That usually doesn't happen with Airbnbs. Peaceful and beautiful setting. We loved hanging out, playing pool and fishing!! My favorite feature was the fence lighting!! It was absolutely incredibly beautiful. We will definitely be back!!
