UNC Camp
My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights while she attended gymnastics camp at UNC. The apartment was clean and met all of our needs. The greatest part was the location, while approx. 10 miles from UNC, it was clean, quiet, and safe. I would absolutely stay here again. Check in process was a little stressful, but (via text message) I was able to easily communicate with someone and resolve the issue. ~M. Gillis

The apartment was fine but the keycode did not work and since my flight was delayed, I had a long wait to get in in the early hours. The number provided kept hanging up so I had to go through vrbo to get support. It's in a great location!

Could have been great
Great location, bright space and overall a good experience. The check in had some stress with the electronic lock key pad not working and a very complicated fob, key, parking scenario. Thankful for a quick response and alternate way to get in. WI-FI instructions did not work and after I contacted the company I was assured they would get back to me but they never did. If you need Wi-Fi this isn’t a good fit. Separate bedroom but wall was partial so no way for a second person to wake up early and allow the other to sleep deeply. Had pots and pans but no baking sheet, which we needed, and only 2 coffee pods for 3 day stay for 2 people. If only the little things were considered it could have been great! Bottom line: I probably would look for another option if I were to return to Durham.

Location is what it’s about
The main plus of this rental is it’s location, about 1/2 mile stroll to DPAC or Bull’s Athletic Park. The apt gives you a nice little apartment for he price of a room at a nearby hotel. If it were not for a hefty cleaning fee this would be a great deal. The apt for is clean and attractive with a full kitchen and cooking utensils and pots and silverware suppled. There is a tv in the living room and the bedroom and a slightly uncomfortable couch in the living area. The bed is comfortable. More amenities would be nice like tissues, coffee, creamer, sugar, etc which are usually available in other rentals. Main down side is the check in process. You must park at the main entrance, go up to the apt which is on the opposite side of the building to get the fob that opens the garage, go back down, park in the garage and again walk across the building to the apt. Same process checking out. In summary, rent for location.

Cleanliness & Safety not a priority
When we arrived to the property, the apartment had clearly not been cleaned. It appeared someone was still in the middle of their stay! There were dirty towels on the bathroom floor, the bed had not been made. We vacated the property immediately as it appeared someone was still in the middle of a stay in this property and we were concerned they may return. The door lock code provided would not lock the property door, which was immediately a safety concern. We reached out to property managers and they were very prompt in their communication. It took roughly 30 minutes to get a new property secured, and as a courtesy they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom apartment, although completely unnecessary as it was just my husband and I. We arrived at property #2 and it was cleaned but apparent it was not ready for occupants staying 4 days. The apartment had a strong, musty smell like no one had been in this apartment for quite sometime. There were several hairs in the bedding and in the bathroom and shower. Thankfully we had a second bathroom option that appeared cleaner than the one attached to the main bedroom. We slept on top of the covers for our 3 night stay to avoid the less than sanitary sheets below. We were given one towel and washcloth each for the 3 nights. Upon leaving the property, again, the code provided did not work, reinforcing the same safety concerns from property #1. This apartment is in the heart of downtown Durham next to the main bus station and close to the train. Be prepared for the noise associated with both. When we voiced our concerns of the lock, the cleaning in property#2 and requested to have the cleaning fee returned as our stay was obviously not cleaned or prepared for, we were denied and said that it was management’s final decision with no opportunity to actually speak to anyone in management. Overall, it was a place to stay and was a convenient location for our needs however we will not be staying with any Viagem property again due to their poor customer service and lack of cleanliness

Great place!
My 2 year old son and I stayed here while visiting a friend in Durham. The location was great and walkable to most of the downtown area. I also found the building to be very stroller accessible which was a plus! The only negative was that the bedroom had a partially open top wall which made it more difficult to talk or watch tv while my son was sleeping. Because you can’t park in the garage until you enter the apartment to pick up the key fob it was just a few extra steps of taking my son in and out of the car during check in and check out. Overall this place was great and just what we needed for our stay!
