Why book direct
Skip the OTA middleman.
Trifecta apartments are listed on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com too — but you’ll always pay less and confirm faster by booking here.
- How long can I stay?
- We support stays of any length, but we specialize in 30 days and longer — corporate relocations, travel nurses, contract work, extended business trips, and family stays during medical treatment. Minimum stay varies by building, season, and date.
- What's included in a Trifecta stay?
- Every apartment is fully turn-key: hotel-quality linens, a stocked kitchen with cookware and a dishwasher, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs with streaming, in-unit washer and dryer, and premium toiletries. You arrive with a suitcase.
- How does Trifecta differ from Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com?
- We're a direct operator — we own and manage every property ourselves, with no third-party host between you and us. Booking direct means no platform markup (Airbnb and the other sites now build their roughly 15% cut into the nightly price you see there), your card isn't charged until we confirm, and a local team you can actually reach. We do list on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, but the same apartment books for less here.
- Is corporate housing cheaper than Airbnb for a 30-day stay?
- Almost always. Airbnb's monthly discount typically saves 5–15% off the nightly rate, but the platform's cut is built into that rate and a cleaning fee still lands on top. Trifecta's monthly rates already include cleaning, and direct booking removes the platform markup entirely — often a $200–$600 difference on a 30-day stay.
- Where are your buildings located?
- Charlotte (Uptown's 1st–4th Wards, walking distance to Bank of America Tower, the Spectrum Center, and the Gold Line streetcar); Durham (West Village and the 604/610 West Morgan area, walking distance to the American Tobacco Campus and Duke University); Raleigh (downtown core, walking distance to the North Carolina State Capitol and Fayetteville Street).
- What about parking?
- Parking is included with most of our buildings — covered, gated, or assigned. In over 800 guest reviews, parking is the single most-mentioned amenity, often called out as the reason guests pick us over a downtown hotel.
- How is direct booking different from booking through an OTA?
- Three things change: (1) no third-party service fee, so the price you see is closer to the price you pay; (2) your card is saved but not charged until we confirm your booking; and (3) when something comes up during your stay, you're talking to the team that operates the building — not a call center.
- How do I book?
- Use the search at the top of this page — pick a city, your check-in and check-out dates, and you'll see live availability for every Trifecta apartment. Your card is saved securely via Stripe and not charged until we confirm, and your booking is direct with us — no middleman, no service fee, no upcharge.
