I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Raleigh! The space was very cute, comfortable, and thoughtfully styled, which made it feel cozy and welcoming. The neighborhood is charming, with a couple of great restaurants within easy walking distance. I was in town for a convention, and it was about a 30-minute walk to the convention center—totally doable if you’re considering staying here for an event. I’d definitely recommend it!

I'm a former Raleigh resident and my husband and I visited for several days for a wedding. Stacy's place was absolutely perfect! We love the Oakwood area and could easily walk to many of our favorite spots. We also were in need of an iron one evening and Stacy got us an iron and ironing board right away which saved us so much hassle. It was so appreciated. Highly recommend this spot for your next visit to RDU!
