Quirky but fun & fabulous Mordecai cottage

November 2025

Immaculately clean, refurbished, and well stocked 2-BR bungalow in a great location in the Mordecai area of downtown. You’re a short walk away from one of Raleigh’s best coffee shops (The Optimist) and a 3-minute drive to one of its most iconic spots - Krispy Kreme Donuts on the corner of Peace and Person Streets. I’d definitely stay here again if the need ever arises. The only cautionary note is that the staircase to/from the upstairs (primary) bedroom is VERY steep. I do not recommend this for elderly guests or young children for that reason. Otherwise, this is a winner!

The owner was readily available, responsive and respectful when we had questions. The interior of the house is thoughtfully decorated. The owner had granola bars and drinks in the fridge for guests.
