Our family of 6 (me & my husband plus 2 adult children & spouses) loved staying in the house over the Christmas holiday while visiting local family. The house was spotlessly clean & fresh, without the harsh cheap cleaner smell that many rentals have. The beds were extremely comfortable with luxury bedding. The kitchen was very well equipped & our foodie group enjoyed whipping up some nice holiday meals together. We appreciated having the gym space downstairs to fit in a quick workout between holiday events. The front porch swing was a peaceful spot to read & relax. Wish we had more time to spend outside with nice decks & plenty of seating. Josh was helpful & attentive despite the holiday timeframe. Hope to come back again our next time in town.

House is in a great location for visiting the University! Extremely clean, spacious rooms. Comfy living room. Ping pong table and Peleton are nice touches. Will def return if circumstances allow!

Had a lovely stay at Josh’s place. He clearly cares about the guest experience and it shows in every thoughtful detail. The bedding was incredibly comfortable and great West Elm quality. We were especially impressed by the coffee, espresso, and tea selection, plus the to go cups, which was perfect since we were there working and loved grabbing coffee on the way out in the mornings. Josh checked in on us during our stay and was very attentive without being intrusive. The home is newly renovated, check in was seamless, and we had everything we needed. We also really appreciated the extra toiletries. I even forgot a razor and there was a disposable one with a mini shaving cream waiting for me. Those are the touches that show how dialed in he is as a host. Truly a 10/10 stay. Do not hesitate to book. ❤️

My dad was airlifted to the ICU at UNC Hospital, and my family urgently needed a place nearby to stay and visit him round the clock. Josh was such a wonderful and supportive host, and his place was so gorgeous and homey for an out-of-town family looking for a bit of comfort. The fully stocked coffee bar was SUCH a plus as well, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I can't thank Josh enough for providing a beautiful home within walking distance to the hospital, and for being so responsive and accommodating. This is by far one of the best AirBnB experiences I've had, especially during such a hard time for our family. Thank you Josh!

We had the best time at Josh’s place. He allowed early check in, sent clear instructions, and recommendations. We enjoyed walking to the local spots close to the University. The home was spacious and well appointed. We appreciate everything. Great place!
