About this property
Mexican Desert-Inspired Casita in DT Sacramento
Summary: Hey, hey! I'm Sway, the owner of this fabulous home. Picture this: a cozy 3-bedroom sanctuary that's a funky blend of old-school Victorian charm and the hippest desert boho vibes.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted with a custom painted mural of a Mexican desert sunset by one of Sacramento's own, Rachel Kerns (give her a follow, people! @sunnydispostudio). This place was built with more love than a grandma's secret recipe, just to make your stay is as mind-blowingly memorable as humanly possible.
The Space: Safe & Quiet Part of Downtown | Backyard Playground For Kids | Recently Renovated | Full Laundry Room
Great for a small getaway with close-knit friends and family, this home’s completely remodeled interior features, brand new bathroom, and a historic-yet-luxury feel that'll have you feeling right at home in Sacramento! The home has been "baby-proofed" with outlet covers, a baby bath, baby gates, a high chair, a pack 'n play and even a full-sized private playground right in the backyard.
The home is a part of a duplex with another unit downstairs. Both units have their private entrances and do not share any common spaces. If you have a larger group and would like to book both parts of the duplex, please message us to check availability on the other unit.

PARKING
Street parking (FREE) - not a busy street so parking is readily available right outside the home. 1 parking permit will be provided. Be aware of street cleaning on Mondays and Tuesdays. Street cleaning signs apply to everyone - even vehicles with parking permits. The home-side of the street has street cleaning on Monday mornings from 10 AM to 12 PM and the opposite side of the street has street cleaning on Tuesday mornings from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Guest Access: Digital door locks are programed with unique access codes for every guest.
Last-minute and same-day bookings are welcome as check-in instructions will automatically be sent at booking confirmation.
The Neighborhood: The home is located just north of the hustle and bustle of downtown in the Mansion Flats neighborhood. This means you'll still be central to all the city's attractions without having to worry about the traffic noise, homeless population, and business of the city. You'll be within walking distance to multiple coffee shops, bars, restaurants and other downtown attractions. For example, we are:
- 2.1 miles away from Sutter Health Park, new home of the Athletics - 0.2 miles away from nearest Sacramento RT Light Rail station (Alkali Flat/La Valentina) - 0.8 miles away from SAFE Credit Union Convention Center - 0.9 miles away from Golden One Center/DOCO - 1 mile away from Old Sacramento - 1.3 miles away from the capitol
Pickup an electric scooter or electric bike around the neighborhood and enjoy a ride around town. Ride through our state capitol, have a picnic at one of our 28 parks, or enjoy sunset ride back from dinner at one of our many award-winning restaurants.
Getting Around: We are conveniently located 1.5 blocks away from a Sacramento RT Light Rail station (Alkali Flat/La Valentina) that has routes all over downtown and midtown. You can also pick up an electric scooter using the Lime App or call an Uber and Lyft, which are always readily available in the area. There is also free parking available on the street if you are driving in or renting a car for your time here.
Other Things to Note: Early check-ins are available per request for a small $85 fee! Ask for availability first!
Late check-outs will be charged an additional $85.
Parking on the street right outside of the home is always available and free! One visitor pass will be available to use and leave on the dashboard of your vehicles to avoid any parking tickets during your stay.

Everything was wonderful! Communication was super prompt and helpful. Check in and check out instructions were clear and the process was a breeze. The place had everything we needed for our stay and was well-appointed. The area was in a quiet neighborhood but also close to restaurants and shopping and coffee. We stayed there during my daughter's graduation weekend and it was perfect for my family. Would definitely stay there again.
The beds are very comfy and the apartment is very clean and well decorated. We also had a great communication with the host. Would definitely stay there again!

Wow, great to hear, Chris!! Thanks for the 5 stars!!
Coworkers and I attended a conference in Sacramento. We drove into Sacramento and found ourselves in this lovely and relaxing home. As soon as you enter, the decor of the home makes you feel welcomed. The bedrooms are very spacious and the beds very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

This means so much to hear, Lorena! Thank you x100!!! Happy to host your group again next time you're all in town.
Stayed in Sacramento for my moms birthday. This was such a charming and comfortable space. There were 3 of us and we each got our own room. The whole place is beautifully decorated!! We loved it so much that we decided to order dinner in on our second night! Highly recommend.

So awesome to hear you were able to walk easily to DOCO!! Thanks for being awesome guests, Kevin!
Beautiful and meticulously clean place. The host Sway Garcia was great. He was giving us all the information we need to access the unit. We loved the little design details of the place. The location is great and quite in the heart of downtown. Over all our experience was great we will definitely rent this place again.
Thanks Sway Garcia for your amazing place.

Thank you, Yared!! This is so kind of you! Cheers!
House was accurately portrayed online, clean and everything worked. The only drawback was the downstairs guests were loud and partying all night. I emailed the host at 3:30 am and he responded immediately and got them to observe quiet hours. Would recommend again.

Thanks so much for the 5 star review, Perry! Really appreciate it.
My colleague and I traveled to Sacramento on business. We arrived late and were a little apprehensive of the neighborhood after seeing an abandoned and boarded property across the street but found a parking spot directly in front of this VRBO. The bedrooms, living room, and kitchen are tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The shower was in need of cleaning so we skipped using it.
The rest of the home was lovely.

Thank you, Cher! I can assure you the neighborhood is safe and very quiet. I will check with my cleaner about the shower to see how we can address that. Thanks for the feedback!
The unit is just as pictured in the listing. Cute and perfect for 6 adults! Bathroom was a little stuffy, but a fan was provided and there's a window to open for air flow. Lots of parking available. Neighborhood was quiet. Walking distance to downtown Sacramento.
Would recommend if needing a place in this location. If u have a larger group, I would definitely recommend booking the downstairs unit as well! This way, you'd have more control over noise levels of your neighbor downstairs and vice versa.
Communication w/Sway was great. He was very nice and quick tl respond to any question I had :).
