Great stay at this very cute studio in downtown Arcata. It was very clean and bright, had a lovely kitchen. The bed was super comfortable. Within short walking distance to the Arcata Plaza.
Lots of thought put into having things you might need while away from home. A large amount of information about the area, things to do, places to eat, etc.
A lovely little studio in the heart of Arcata. Nice fenced backyard and a perfect place for 1 or 2. Host was fantastic! Prompt communication, kind and helpful. We will definitely be back.
