Easy checkin and checkout. The host was very accomodating. While the place is small, it met all my needs. I enjoyed the shower as it was hot almost immediately. I walked back and forth to Cal Poly Humbolt (it took about 20 minutes) and it was convenient.Thanks for everything...

We loved the Starlight Studio Suite. It was exactly what we hoped for. The self-check-in process was easy peasy. The little fenced in yard was perfect for our two dogs. And, for us too, to sit out in the sun in the afternoon with a glass of wine. The bed was so comfortable - a big plus! the room was very clean with beautiful artwork. The kitchenette was fully equipped with everything you could need. Communication with the host was excellent. We had a great stay!
