Welcome to Robin’s Nest, your home away from home in Durham! This beautiful brand new apartment is your perfect retreat when in town for treatment, an extended travel assignment at Duke Regional [1 block away!], or even a date weekend in the Bull City. Every detail has been considered to delight - from the luxurious king beds in both bedrooms, to the extra large shower to the cozy living room and treasures sprinkled throughout. Best of all is the location. You’ll love staying here! You’ll feel at peace the moment you walk through the door! The cool colors, comfortable furniture and little details will welcome you right into the great room. You can cozy up on the L-shaped sofa to read or stream your favorite show. The 4-person dining table doubles as a work space - the giant windows bring in plenty of natural light. The brand new kitchen includes all the amenities - large and small - that you need to make your favorite meal, or just to heat up leftovers from one of the Bull City’s award winning eateries. Both bedrooms contain sumptuous King size beds, double wide closets and plenty of space to unpack. The rooms are painted a soothing dark blue and have black out curtains to ensure a restful night of sleep. The bathroom is also stocked with the essentials - or things you may have forgotten! And you’ll love the extra large shower. Please note: the apartment is on the second floor, with outdoor staircase access (as pictured in the photos) You'll enjoy full access to the entire apartment.
