This apartment really is in the heart of Durham, walkable to the castle and cathedral in 5 minutes, with a large choice of restaurants very nearby. That comes at the cost of being near a busy street with a fair amount of accompanying noise, but we felt the benefits far outweighed any drawbacks. Secured parking was a wonderful bonus, especially in a city setting. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms was another nice feature. We only used the on-suite shower and it was very nice shower. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to visit Durham.
