About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oakwood near downtown with Nespresso, Bikes & Bidet.

This is short-term model and we are set-up to rent for a 2-night maximum. If you would like to stay longer, we would charge an additional $50 per nite over 2-nights. We will however provide a clean-up and fresh towels for you after 2-days time.
This Studio is a pretty new space on the 1st floor of our townhouse. It has it's own private entrance which will only be used by our guests. Colette and I love to travel and the over-all bedding comfort is at the top of our list. We got turned onto Cozy Earth bedding, which offers the most comfy sleeping experience that we have found. The pillows are pretty comfy too.
The Studio has lots of lights all on dimmers and a 9' ceiling. The Studio has a patio looking out onto a landscaped courtyard with comfortable chairs and over-head fan and mood lighting to help you enjoy happy hours or whatever hours. The studio has a full kitchenette including micro, fridge, toaster oven, filtered water, and also a Nespresso maker with fresh cream and an assortment of teas. We also have 2-bikes that we will loan to our guests so you can enjoy the North Person Street Corridor and downtown Raleigh, which is less than a mile away. We are 2 blocks from the free R-LINE bus which cycles thru every 15 minutes from 7 am to 11 pm and takes you thru downtown Raleigh and back. The city also has Lime bikes and Gotcha electric scooters. You can pick up an Uber or Lyft usually with less than a 5-minute wait.

This unit has a 55' Smart Roku TV with a Samsung sound bar complete with subwoofer. We provide the major channels, like Netflix, Starz, Showtime, HBO, Amazon Prime, and too many more. The Pandora and YouTube are with out commercials. Access Google to find what stations are offered thru Spectrum. For example, Showtime is channel 550 in the guide. NFL is 310 and 13.

We often find that people leave early, if that is the case and you would like to get in early, say 10:ish or so, we will work with you.

We have had a few other VRBO units over the years and had the distinction of being the No. 1 rated short-term rental properties out of 466 in this area in the past. We also have 2 other properties currently being offered thru the VRBO site. Looking at these other properties, you should be able to get the flavor of what you might experience from our hosting style while staying at our "New Downtown Studio".

"Service animals" that are hypo-allergenic and smaller than 15 lbs. are OK, but no cats, I have an allergy to most dogs, i.e, German Shepherds, Retreivers, Labs, so those types of dogs are not allowed in our properties. Because of my allergies, I am exempt to the service dog rule that says anybody with a service animal can bring their pets into a property. I have covered this with VRBO and they have granted me a pass because of this affliction.

All eligible people, from everywhere are welcome in our property.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this apartment's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from William Peace University. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the apartment.

This place pays attention to detail

Tom communicated with me awesomely from booking through check out. This place is incredibly thoughtfully curated for a short stay. Entertainment system is great, bathroom is chefs kiss, entry and exit is both easy and secure. Convenient 24 hr BP station a block over for any last minute cravings. Bedding was verrrry comfortable. When coming back through Raleigh will not be staying anywhere else from now on. Very walkable.

Our stay in Tom's Place was exceptional. They had thought of every little thing a guest might need. We had the choice of a soft pillow or a firm one. Nespresso was a pleasant surprise. The bed and linens were comfortable as was the lounging area. My hubs especially enjoyed the well-appointed bathroom. The architecture of this space was well-thought out and obviously brought to life by skilled crafts people. Don't want to spoil all the surprises we found so you will be pleased and surprised too when you check in!

Perfect spot to stay the night

The owner is very friendly and quick to respond. He was very accommodating and the area was really nice. My partner and I loved the apartment and the bed was super comfortable. We stayed one night to see a show in town and it was a great location. I would highly recommend staying here if you are ever in the Raleigh area! Thanks again!

Fantastic Host

I stayed here for 3 days and the host, Tom, was not only extremely hospitable, but also communicative, flexible and kind with what I needed. The VRBO was lovely and exactly as advertised, and just what I needed for my stay. I think I have to get a bidet now as theirs was a game changer!! Thank you so much for having me and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Wedding adventure

Great from beginning to end. The host is fabulous with how-to’s, local restaurants, checking in every once in a while to see if we needed anything refreshed and just to say hi. We were there for a wedding at the venue just behind the VRBO which made it simple for getting ready, having a quiet place to rest and hang out. Coffee in the morning, on the patio was delightful as were the local shops and restaurants. Great place to stay!

A great find

The studio was a great find. Tom was a great host. Communication was fantastic. The Nespresso machine was an added bonus. Having coffee on the patio over looking the landscape was relaxing and peaceful. We couldn't ask for a better location, close to many great restaurants. You could leave your car behind and walk, which was good because parking was sometimes difficult to find. The best part is that it is only 2 hours from home. We will definitely be back

Stayed here for a week to help with our son’s wedding, venue right behind the VRBO! Arrived to a lovely suite that was well appointed, quiet and restful space and close to so many conveniences. The host offered great restaurant suggestions as well as checked in on us to make sure we were all set. Tom was always available for our random text messages, giving advice for food or information. Loved the proximity to so much-walkable to downtown, coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and bikes for the sporty! Next time we are in Raleigh and need a place to stay-this is the best!

Great time!

This was the first step of a driving tour of the South, to celebrate my retirement later this year. The unit was just as promised and the perfect amount of space for a solo traveler or couple. The bed was comfortable, with soft linens. The bathroom had a very fancy toilet, with a seat warmer and dual purpose as a bidet. The shower had good water pressure and was stocked with quality toiletries. The kitchenette came with a microwave, toaster oven, sink, basic dishes/utensils (including wine opener, wine glasses),a small fridge and Nespresso coffee maker. There is a large television with a plethora of channels. There is an abundance of plugs and USB ports in the unit. There is a small sitting porch with chairs and a ceiling fan, plus two bikes for personal use. The location is walking distance to downtown, though we drove mostly due to the wet weather while we were there (parking appears to be free on the weekends though). There is free street parking by the unit. We hit a snag getting my personal code to work to open the door, but Tom was very responsive and quickly corrected the issue. He also offered helpful recommendations during our stay. The cost of the unit was very affordable for the location. My only complaint was the room got just a little warm, but nothing that a small ceiling fan couldn’t address. I highly recommend this studio for a stay in Raleigh!

I got this place for my parents who are traveling to the area for medical stuff. The host Tom was extremely accommodating and very kind to my parents once they arrived. My folks slept very comfortably in the studio apartment and were so glad to have a nice neighborhood to walk their doggie in. Highly recommend!! My parents plan to stay again in the future for their medical appointments.Thank you so much Tom!!:)

Fantastic stay

We went into Raleigh to meet up with family nearby on our way to New Bern. We were excited to stay in this studio because it looked great. We were NOT disappointed. Everything was so well thought out. The host was very communicative and was a gracious host. The property was exceptionally clean and the amenities were as listed. They even had coffee and fresh cream for us! We would 100% stay there again when we visit Raleigh. Probably one of the best stays we've had. Would have loved to stay longer!!
