Great property the was classy and comfortable. Great location and updated space were a huge plus. Being right across the street from a great ramen restaurant (Susukino) was icing on the cake. We will be staying here again!

Wonderful!

Clean, comfortable, great beds, perfect location. Host was super responsive. Perfect jumping off point to go north or south to see the redwoods or find little gems to shop at. The ramen place across the street was fabulous. Would definitely stay here again.

Adorable little house with central Arcata location

Very cute well appointed little house. Very clean and comfortable for me and my two teens. It’s in a central location in Arcata with easy walking to restaurants and the Plaza. You do hear some street noise but that’s to be expected with a downtown location. There is no laundry but it is a very short distance to the laundromat if needed. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook a meal. My only very minor compliant would be that the door in the bedroom had a window covering that didn’t feel like the neighbors could see through. But having the door there was nice to open and let fresh air in during the summer. The hosts were communicative and helpful although we had no problems during our stay. Overall a nice place and I would stay there again hands down!

Adorable place within walking distance of EVERYTHING Arcata.

We stayed for several nights in this adorable up-to-date bungalow. It was perfect for our small family and very walkable to anywhere we went in Arcata. It is tastefully decorated and adequately equipped for the bit of cooking we did. The host was easy to communicate with and provided a nicely done booklet of information about the area. I would highly recommend and will stay here again when visiting Arcata.

Arcata perfection

This rental is amazing! My partner and daughter and I stayed for the weekend to check out the Cal Poly campus, and we were within walking distance of the school, the community forest, Wildberries Market, and lots of awesome shops and cafes. The 3rd bedroom/office was perfect for practicing music and working remotely during our stay. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

The Yellow Doors B

Good/prompt communication with Aubrey. Check-in/out easy and uncomplicated. House was clean and well-stocked. Beds very comfortable. Like another reviewer mentioned, the window in one of the bedrooms had a fairly sheer curtain and no blinds, which was a bit unnerving privacy-wise. Our first night was disrupted by a neighbor/pedestrian/transient (?) screaming obscenities outside of the bedroom window for over an hour. Could have been an anomaly, but it was unsettling. And lastly, went to open the window by the front door to enjoy the cool air during dinner and found that it was unlocked. Would have liked to give 5 stars, but the safety/privacy things keep me from doing so.
