Very nice place! Lots of space to spread out. We arrived early evening and were very happy to find a good Mexican restaurant just steps away. Convenient garage parking is also a huge plus.

The loft was very clean and in a great location. The instructions to get into the unit were very clear as well as communication with the property manager. Everything went very smoothly and we would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Durham.

Great place, centrally located and management was very responsive when a neighbor passed out with a movie on blast. Hammocks on the balcony were fantastic and place felt very large. 8 year old loved it.

Apartment vs hotel

Built for your move, not just a night

  • A full kitchen

    Cook real meals while you get your footing — full-size fridge, dishwasher, real cookware — instead of weeks of takeout and restaurant tabs between two homes.

  • Room for the whole move

    A separate bedroom, a full living room, and space for the family — and the boxes — while you find your footing. Not one cramped hotel room.

  • In-unit laundry

    Settle in for a month or three without living out of a suitcase — a washer and dryer in every unit.

  • Lower per-night cost

    For a 30–120 day stay, a furnished apartment costs far less than a hotel and bridges the gap between two leases — ask about weekly and monthly rates, and booking direct drops the 15–20% OTA service fee entirely.

  • Try the city before you commit

    Live in a real neighborhood while you scout where to land — the schools, the commute, the coffee shop — before you sign a lease or close on a house.

  • A local team, not a call center

    We own and operate every apartment, so you reach the people who run the building — flexible move-in, easy extensions, and a hand while you get settled in a new city.

Good to know

Questions before you book

How long can I stay?

As long as you need. We specialize in the 30-to-120-day relocation and gap stays — the bridge between selling and buying, or starting a job before your household move — and the lofts can be booked by the week or month, up to a full year. Shorter stays work too; just ask.

Do I need to furnish anything or set up utilities?

No. Each loft is fully furnished and move-in ready: a full kitchen with cookware, an in-unit washer and dryer, fast Wi-Fi, a TV, a workspace, and linens and towels, with on-site parking included. Bring a suitcase.

Is it cheaper than a hotel or an extended-stay hotel?

For a 30+ day stay, generally yes — ask about weekly and monthly rates, which come in well under stacking that many hotel nights, and you get a full 2-bedroom loft instead of one room. Booking direct also drops the 15–20% OTA service fee entirely.

Can I use this to get to know Durham before I buy or rent?

That’s exactly what it’s for. Stay in walkable downtown Durham, try the drive to Duke, RTP, or wherever you’ll work, scope out the neighborhoods and schools you’re weighing, and sign a lease or close on a home once you actually know the city — not before.

Is there room for the family?

Yes — these are 2-bedroom West Village lofts that sleep six, with a separate bedroom and a real living room, so the whole household (and the boxes) has room to land, not one cramped hotel room.

Do you allow pets, and how do I book?

Some apartments are pet-friendly — tell us about your pet when you book. Book direct on this page and you reach the local team that owns and operates the building: no call center, instant confirmation, quick move-in, and easy extensions if your move runs long.
