Come stay with us and experience the luxury of Downtown Raleigh living!

We provide white noise/fans for light sleepers and have installed sound-dampening curtains to minimize any noise disruptions during your stay.
Our group of five had a terrific stay at Uptown Betty, what a gem! The house was exactly as described, sparkling clean, and well-appointed. Check-in was a breeze, with parking for three cars (and extra street parking nearby), and just an incredible location – less than half a block to the start of a huge stretch of restaurants, bars and arts/entertainment that make up Glenwood South. Barbara was also a wonderful host; quick and easy communication from our very first pre-booking inquiries, and so accommodating. We had no issues at all during our stay, but I'm confident that had anything come up, it would have been handled immediately. Can't recommend Uptown Betty highly enough, and look forward to staying again and again when my friends and I return to Raleigh!
Very fun eclectic place - wish I had more time to enjoy it but wasn’t on vacation - so had to work most days. Walking distance to all of Glenwood south- thought parking was going to be challenging but it was not.
Barbara's place was charming, well-appointed and she did an amazing job labeling things so they were easy to find. The location was excellent and easily walkable.
Let me first say that Barbara is an A+ host, very kind, communicative, and helpful. The house is very charming and artistic which I love, and the biggest perk for my group of adults was that it was walkable to bars and restaurants. I somehow missed that there was a separate rental above, so if you are a light sleeper, you might not be okay with squeaky floors and feet shuffling above you. I also felt that only two of the four bedrooms were comfortable. One was so small and slanted and cold, that we did not even use it and my girlfriend stayed with me which gave neither of us the privacy and sound sleep we were expecting. And the front bedroom is really a conservatory with curtains, so the street lights and traffic noise might keep some from getting a good night's sleep. I've stayed in lots of big Airbnbs and this just did not feel like the accommodation matched the cost.
Step outside the front door, and you'll find yourself steps away from all the excitement and activity of Glenwood South. From here, you can easily walk to over 30 restaurants, locally owned shops, nightclubs, and galleries. Plus, with the city's free R-Line bus service just a block away, you can easily explore all the best downtown Raleigh offers. Whether you're in town for business or pleasure, you won't find a better location than this!
Up for some fresh air and exercise? Fletcher Park a beautiful oasis in the heart of the city. Just a short walk from the house, you can enjoy a leisurely evening walk through the park or jog on one of its many trails. After your walk, return to the house and relax on our small, quiet (shared with upstairs guests) back deck, perfect for grilling and unwinding.
