Summary: The Bull Pen, as Brad's place is called, was great for our visit to Durham to celebrate our younger grandchild's graduation from high school. The open floor plan made gathering easy and enjoyable, but we all had the privacy of good-sized bedrooms when we needed it. Check-in was a breeze. Brad's instructions for arrival--even construction areas to avoid on the way in--and his timely responsiveness to all queries were stellar.
