The property manager was absolutely outstanding. Communication was impeccable – responsive and individualized. The place was spotless and extremely comfortable. I am quite chemically sensitive and this place was a perfect fit for me. I did bring my own soaps and dish soap. Beautiful location and very convenient couldn’t be better.

The place was perfect for our visit. Walking distance to Humboldt campus and downtown. Cute little cottage with all the appropriate accommodations to make for a lovely stay. The property managers were quick to respond to any questions we had. We met the property owner as well who was lovely and made us feel very welcome. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a nice spot close to downtown Arcata.

This was an adorable well kept unit moments away from the Arcata Community forest. It had a small kitchenette, which was perfect for small meals, a grill outside for bigger ones and a very comfortable bed. I would highly recommend it, especially if you like to wake up and take a walk among the redwoods.

Very nice

It is a sweet place and pretty quiet on beautiful landscaped property. I was disappointed in the deck with no view but furniture is comfy and can see lovely flowers and birds. Bed is very comfy but it is a double and I think we need a queen. Hosts are lovely and its close to everything. Will recommend to our kids when they come up.

Very nice, but if you're tall you will need to duck! Ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom are very low. Very close to a busy road but the noise wasn't too bad. Great choice for ONE person and a pet.

Good location to visit Arcata!

This is a good minimal home-base for visiting Arcata. Smooth check-in, clean, everything as expected. Worth noting that winter storms can be a bit noisy in this room, as it's a mother-in-law type unit. Shower pressure / hot water excellent!

Cute, efficient but too cramped for my taste.

This studio had a great location. It was quiet and clean. The bed was pretty comfortable. Excellent indoor shower stall. Overall we found the unit to be small. It had somewhat of a kitchen that might be serviceable for a light breakfast, but I would not want to prepare a meal there. In my opinion it might be best suited for a single traveler.
