Good to know

Situated only a 10 minute walk from the city centre of Durham, this 2BDR property is a 1930s semi which has been fully renovated in 2020 in an art deco style, preserving traditional English features and original stain glass windows, encased in new double glazing to keep the place warm. The house has a warm and cosy feel to it, with a light and spacious, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, from where you can also access a private patio. Then there is also a living room on the ground floor, featuring the original stained glass windows and a unique fireplace. On the first floor, you will find two good sized bedrooms (king size bed and two singles) with a bathroom. There is also a small study area on the landing. We provide all the linens, towels, and toiletries you need to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. Parking There is a car space for one car in the driveway as well as plenty of street (metered) parking if extra parking is needed.

Many thanks to Irena for hosting us in Durham. We had a great 3-day stay in a clean, comfortable home is a wonderful City. We would love to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Property was exactly as described. Spotlessly clean, simple check in and a great location. Great pub just round the corner. We had a great time and appreciated the breakfast recommendation. Would book again without hesitation. Thank you

Fantastic stay, perfect location and the property is in a great location with a good local pub within 2 minutes (the woodman) and then Durham centre only a 10 minute walk away with everything you need around you. Irena was a great host and very helpful and responsive. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. Location was great as only 5/10 minutes from the centre and that house was beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed for the weekend. Thanks Irena!

What a stunning home. Irena has decorated this place to such a high standard. Super comfortable furniture, perfect shower and lovely garden! Irena was so helpful and even accommodated a filming request we had. We can’t thank her enough! The perfect base for exploring Durham. ⭐️

We had a wonderful stay in Durham. Irena is the perfect host, the best we've ever had on AirBnB! So helpful and friendly. The house is in a great location, a nice easy walk to the centre of Durham. It's a very well appointed house with everything that you could want. We had an issue when we were there that was out of Irena's control (a burst water main several streets away, affecting the whole area) and Irena was immediately responsive and helpful, offering us a later checkout if needed, so that we could sort ourselves out once water pressure was resolved. We couldn't have asked for more, thank you so much!

We had a great stay at Irenas place for our daughters 21st (student at Durham). Easy walk into Durham - but v quiet. The place was spotlessly clean and very warm and cozy. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood that's quiet with an easy walk into town. Irena was incredibly kind and helpful as we navigated last-minute plans around a snowstorm and she answered any questions we had. You are very well taken care of here, with everything you need for a lovely stay. I was working evenings and I appreciated the excellent wifi. Highly recommend.

I would thoroughly recommend Irene’s place. Easy walk into town for great facilities and what is a lovely city. The property itself is immaculately decorated, very homely and peaceful. Irena is a great host, very accommodating and a couple of great recommendations.
