I was so pleased with everything. I highly recommend this twilight studio experience. The place is so nicely decorated and the details are done so well for making your stay very comfortable. There’s a cute little yard attached with two bicycles. I used one of them to ride down to the marsh and had a great experience. The host is extremely accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about this place.
I put a garbage bag on the seat so it wouldn’t get wet. It has gears.
The decor is so well done.
If you ride down to the marsh, there’s a good chance you’ll see otters and if you’re a birder, it’s birder paradise.

Sadhana couldn’t have made such a small, yet cute studio any more cozy and accommodating than she did. Our short stay was lovely. The kitchenette is stocked with teas, coffee, a Brita filter, and dinnerware as well as a fridge, countertop stove, etc. The studio is only a walk away from downtown and Cal Poly Humboldt. The most hospitable VRBO we have visited.

I did a quick overnighter to pick up my son from Cal Poly and Sadhana's place was perfect for my needs. The unit is private and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchenette was stocked with coffee and lots of tea, everything was clean and I won't hesitate to book this unit again for my next trip up there. Close to the campus, downtown and the community forest. Communication was fast and easy. Great stay.
