PARKING
Street parking (FREE) - not a busy street so parking is readily available right outside the home. No parking permit will be provided but rest assured, parking enforcement is nearly nonexistent in our quiet neighborhood. Feel free to park anywhere on the street.
Additionally, be aware of street cleaning on Mondays and Tuesdays. Street cleaning signs apply to everyone. The home-side of the street has street cleaning on Monday mornings from 10 AM to 12 PM and the opposite side of the street has street cleaning on Tuesday mornings from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Guest Access: Digital door locks are programed with unique access codes for every guest.
Last-minute and same-day bookings are welcome as check-in instructions will automatically be sent at booking confirmation.
The Neighborhood: The home is located just north of the hustle and bustle of downtown in the Mansion Flats neighborhood. This means you'll still be central to all the city's attractions without having to worry about the traffic noise, homeless population, and business of the city. You'll be within walking distance to multiple coffee shops, bars, restaurants and other downtown attractions. For example, we are:
- 2.1 miles away from Sutter Health Park, new home of the Athletics - 0.2 miles away from nearest Sacramento RT Light Rail station (Alkali Flat/La Valentina) - 0.8 miles away from SAFE Credit Union Convention Center - 0.9 miles away from Golden One Center/DOCO - 1 mile away from Old Sacramento - 1.3 miles away from the capitol
Pickup an electric scooter or electric bike around the neighborhood and enjoy a ride around town. Ride through our state capitol, have a picnic at one of our 28 parks, or enjoy sunset ride back from dinner at one of our many award-winning restaurants.
Getting Around: We are conveniently located 1.5 blocks away from a Sacramento RT Light Rail station (Alkali Flat/La Valentina) that has routes all over downtown and midtown. You can also pick up an electric scooter using the Lime App or call an Uber and Lyft, which are always readily available in the area. There is also parking available on the street if you are driving in or renting a car for your time here.
Other Things to Note: Early check-ins are available per request for a small $85 fee! Ask for availability first!

We were in town for a convention. Sway was awesome and accommodated us even though we were a larger family. She communicated well and left the extra items we would need to be comfortable. The home was in a great location and check in was a breeze. She is an excellent host who has put a lot of thought into the convenience for her guests.
We were in town on business and needed a comfortable three bedroom stay. Was a beautiful and convenient choice, everything we could have needed was included. Will be back!
We went down to Sacramento for a concert and Sway’s place was perfectly located close to restaurants and very close to Golden one center. He had snacks and cute little gifts for us when we arrived and was super communicative the whole time. The place is cozy and updated and just truly perfect for our short stay in Sacramento.
We stayed here after our son and daughter in law had their baby. Close to the hospital and easy to get to stores and restaurants. Appreciated Sway having the air on for us when we arrived.
This place was perfect! Just as pictured online. Great modern decor throughout the whole place plenty of room in each bedroom for 2 adults. Really liked the kitchen and island to hang around all our food and drinks. Loved the fact that it was downstairs and had the cutest play area for kids in the back. Overall great experience with this stay and definitely will book again when in town!
Coworkers and I attended a conference in Sacramento. We drove into Sacramento from Bakersfield, some from Salinas and found ourselves in this relaxing rental. As soon as you enter, the decor of the home makes you feel relaxed. The bedrooms are very spacious and the beds were comfortable. We found some time and enjoyed the games provided and relax a bit. We enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again.
We were able to rent both the top and bottom unit of this house which resulted in 6 beds in total being available. This level of space in downtown is unavailable at other short term rentals and this price point saved everyone HUNDREDS compared to the hotels around town for this weekend. Thanks so much!
This wound up being a pretty good spot to stay for my family while we were in town for an event at the Memorial Auditorium. Pros: - Good amount of space- Nice Shower/Tub- Backyard Playground- Memory foam mattresses are actually reasonably comfy for side-sleepers. - Check out procedure more like a hotel than a typical vacation rental [i.e. "lock the door when you leave"]Cons:- Less windows than you think - front bedroom has lots, and every other room has a small one. - Upstairs tenants were doing elephant impressions until about midnight. Other Notes:- This unit was very cold when we arrived (55F), was supplied with 4 space heaters, which heated the space to about 75 in about 8 hours - once up to temperature, unit was very comfortable. Normally, California weather isn't this cold, so I'd expect this to be a non-factor most of the time. Verdict: This place would be ideal if it there was better weather and no upstairs tenants. That said, we'd still stay here again and hope for less stompy neighbors next time. Thanks for hosting!

Certainly not “insta-worthy”
I wouldn’t consider one neon sign on a wall with fake brick wallpaper to be insta-worthy. This house is very very average and is way oversold in the listing. You can really really hear the people upstairs so be prepared for that. The neighborhood doesn’t seem great but it’s not terrible. Wouldn’t want to walk around after dark. For the most part were happy with the cleanliness. The kitchen didn’t have many pots/pans and the ones it did have seemed kind of grimy. It was cool they had a popcorn machine and keurig but the popcorn was stale and the k-cups were all really random gross sounding flavors.
The house is so accommodating we loved the popcorn and the hospitality. We would definitely will be staying again, and the host was absolutely wonderful.!

Place was awesome and the host is amazing! Great communication I highly recommend and will definitely rent again.
We enjoyed our family stay at this Downtown Sacramento location. The home was spotless and had everything we needed. The house is also very close to shops and restaurants.
