I stayed in this cozy apartment for three years and enjoyed my time there. It's a comfortable haven, with a spacious living area and plenty of light. The dwelling includes a separate utility room, a good-sized bathroom, and tons of storage space for a place of its size. I found the kitchen to be well-appointed and more than sufficient for daily cooking. The location of the apartment is excellent, tucked away inside of a quiet neighborhood, but within easy access of major Durham roads. City parks and good restaurants are nearby. Finally, the landlords were responsive and handled any problems that arose with timeliness and care. They were also good, friendly neighbors.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Apartment is clean, well-furnished and spacious, and in a green, quiet neighborhood. Owners are very kind and responsive to all concerns, repairs, etc, and they took good care of my cat whenever I was out of town. Highly recommend staying with the Romaines!

    "It is a well established community that is weathering the storm that afflicts a city in sudden sporadic growth We will weather this storm and any other . This place is called Home to many whom have lived here through Three or more generations and many newcomers who chose to make this place their new home. I wish I could find an appropriate rental here. I am on the edge in a house I have afforded to live in for twenty-nine yrs. The house was recently sold and I find that I may be under the bridge at age 79 due to so-called gentrification . Durham is known for undermining it's citizens in the name of progress. It's a backhanded way of doing things but it will come out alright because the so-called little people come together when they realize what is happening."
