Fantastic host with plenty of information about the property and the area. The property was quaint and within walking distance of downtown with no shortage of dining or entertainment opportunities. Host was very timely with communication and kept visitors in-the-know about cleaning schedules or other work being done on and around the property. I would travel to any of this host’s properties again without question.

First off, GREAT COMMUNICATION. This company is top notch. The location was exactly as advertised. Spotless and well appointed. Great location in downtown. Quiet. Pet friendly with an enclosed yard. It was so nice for my pup to be able to be off leash while I watched. Dog waste bags provided. 100% would stay again.

We had a great stay. Perfect location. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the host fees were a little steep. It doubled the cost of the rental. Other rentals’ host fees are lower. But the host was very generous to allow us to bring two dogs, so that was another bonus that we appreciated. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Our unit was exactly what we needed - two bedrooms with two very comfortable beds, a well-appointed kitchen, a cozy gas fireplace. The location was amazing - walking distance to the town square with its shops, restaurants, and Saturday Market. Minutes from Cal Poly Humboldt, the Arcata Marsh (amazing free tour), redwoods, the bay and the ocean. A hop/skip/jump to Eureka or Trinidad. Will definitely book again!

This is a cozy place and very close to downtown, making it an easy walk. You are very close to two markets, plenty of eateries and some places with live music. The house is appointed with all the necessities, the beds are comfortable, and it is best for 2-4 people. The kitchen is easy to cook in, the cockery and cutlery fit the basics (could use a bit more selection), if you’re a coffee drinker there is just a drip coffee machine. Note: the water is very good. There is an auto kettle, so if you bring a Moka Pot or French Press you’re set. There is a selection of bagged teas and a container of ground coffee, plus the other cooking basics. As for the decor, cozy and snug. The gas fire is delightful and charming to ait by and chat the night away.
