The space in the apartment is beautiful/nice, it's just right for us. They maximized all the space, and there are many cabinets for storage."

I’m so happy with this apartment! Mariah was amazing, she guided us every step of the way, from the application process to moving in, and was always friendly and approachable. The apartment itself is fantastic, with great amenities like a gym and a swimming pool, all well-maintained. The location is perfect, right across from Durham bus station, which makes getting around so easy. Honestly, I feel like I got my money’s worth. Huge thanks to Mariah and the whole team for making everything such a... smooth and enjoyable experience!
