The house was spacious and had lovely historic details w/ modern accents. It was very convenient for walking to a market and restaurants, as well as very quick drive to the downtown plaza and the Cal Poly campus. We got right on and off Hwy 101 to go exploring. We'd definitely stay here again.

We rented for several days as a place from which to explore the North Coast region and found it nicely located near Cal Poly and a lot of really amazing restaurants. The house is a beautiful and clean craftsman with wonderful wood floors and molding in most of the rooms. If you like period details and modern tech, you'll appreciate the induction cook-top in the antique stove and the modern fridge made to look old. The house had what we needed and the hosts were thoughtful with suggestions of places to visit. We appreciated the little holiday tree in the front window and the lights turned on to welcome us.We also appreciated the books and games, nightlight, and cozy rooms.

This gorgeous craftsman home is spacious, comfortable, sunny, and gorgeous. We hosted our student for dinner in the large kitchen, we walked to campus, the arcata farmer's market and more. I highly suggest staying at this home.

This was such a restful stay, we loved being within walking distance to a fabulous health food grocery. Beds I think are full not queen. Couches super comfy for reading. Kitchen well equipped, I especially appreciated the ceramic plates. Not all windows open but we were able to prop several open during the day to air it out. Overall loved having so much space for an affordable price and getaway.

Great location

Was a great location and had a parking spot that was off the street which was key for the location. The bed was extremely comfortable and was super comfortable home in general. Had some mishap when trying to adjust the dates by adding a date but once I was able to reach the host it was smooth sailing.
