My husband and I had a great one-night stay! The host was very communicative and explained everything clearly. He was as flexible as possible, which I really appreciated. We arrived very late and needed to stay a tad longer for our check out. The location is perfect—just steps from downtown—and the apartment was in pristine condition, clean, and very comfortable. Wi-Fi worked smoothly, parking was available, and the neighbors were quiet. Highly recommend!

Cute place minutes from the downtown. It is a bit darker inside than the pictures show (large trees shade the property) it is close to some redwoods (very pretty) and it is smack dab in a neighborhood. Over all it was perfect for our 2-day stay. You walk up a slanted driveway to the stairs (on your right) and have to drag luggage up so probably not great for a senior citizen. We probably would not have used the deck as it is shared with other tenants. The only problem we encountered is that we had a huge SUV and it was stressful parking at the garage because two cars are supposed to be able to park there- and there are two street spaces behind you where neighbors park. We would have been trapped in the space had the large truck behind us not left right before we did. If you have a smaller car it should be fine. The host was very responsive and helpful with local tips.

This is a tough one to review, honestly. We didn't end up staying. The location was great, the tree house vibe was awesome, my kid loved the porch swing, and it appeared clean/neat inside. But it smelled very musky! We debated about what to do and ended up deciding not to stay. The place is surrounded by cement walls on two sides, so while we didn't see any evidence of mold, it was reasonable to worry there might be. We would have been concerned about air quality/mold spores during our whole stay. The host checked in the next morning and said they didn't smell anything, and since we couldn't provide proof of a smell, I guess that was that! No further attempts to mitigate were made.

We had an amazing stay at this home. Perfect for me, my husband and infant son. The host had a pack-n-play and high chair for our son available. It was close to a mini-grove of red woods and the perfect location to start our highway 1 trip! Our only regret is not being able to stay longer.
