Location! Location! Location! This private garden apartment is in the prestigious East Sacramento neighborhood known as the “Fab 40’s”. This area is well known for its beautiful tree lined streets, stately homes and former residence of Governor and Mrs. Ronald Reagan. Centrally located it is great for walking, bike riding and sight seeing. It is a short two blocks from public transportation that provides direct service to downtown, Amtrak and the Capital! Perhaps you will catch a glimpse of Governor Swartzenneger or other notables who frequent Sacramento for movie shoots! Walk to many of the local restaurants and bistro’s offering many ethnic delicacies.
The professionally designed 600 square foot, one bedroom and den, garden apartment is fully equipped and opens onto a private, well manicured garden with a patio surrounded by pomegranates, oranges, giant birds-of-paradise, and fragrant jasmine. The patio is complete with a barbeque, table and chairs, and a private, secure entrance to the street. The apartment features Spanish porcelain floor tiles, stainless steel appliances, maple cabinetry, warm area carpets and fine quality furniture. The bedroom is complete with a queen sized bed with an excellent Serta "Perfect Sleeper" mattress, good bedside reading lamps, and built-in closet system. The spacious bathroom is fully equipped with a large vanity, bathtub and shower.
The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances including a Miele cooktop, built-in wall oven, full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher and in-sink garbage disposal. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for any cook to step into and prepare gourmet meals! Complementing the gourmet kitchen is a dining area and living room featuring a built-in wall unit housing an LCD flat-screen television with cable service and DVD player, a stereo with a selection of CD’s, and a sofa bed that can accommodate one additional adult. For the people who need to remain connected, wireless internet service is available.
Two public parks are located within a short fifteen minute walk, East Portal Park, and the famous McKinley Park, which features a pond filled with ducks and geese, a community library, tennis courts, swimming pool and a beautiful rose garden tended by local master gardeners. In addition to the parks, walking within the Fab 40’s allows easily access local pharmacies, grocery stores, restaurants, coffee houses, local churches of all faiths, three local hospitals, Sacramento State University, and many other services needed for daily living.
If you enjoy jogging or biking, you will love the close proximity to the American River Parkway, Sacramento’s 32 mile long trail, paralleling the American River winding from Old Sacramento to Folsom. Being centrally located, the Garden Apartment provides easy access to many cultural activities such as the opera, ballet, local theater, dinner theater, the Sacramento Convention Center, and the historical district of Old Sacramento - a must see! The world renowned Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, located on the University of California Davis campus, is a short 20 minute drive and features many well known artists and performers.
Again, location is prime. Within less than 2 hours in any direction from our garden apartment you have access to many outstanding destinations. Heading west, you enter the well known wine-growing regions of the Napa, Sonoma, and the Anderson valley, famous not only for their vineyards and wineries but for their excellent restaurants. Heading east, Lake Tahoe provides wonderful alpine slopes, where you'll find world-class snow skiing and some of the most stunning scenery in the world. To the southeast the roads lead you into the gold country, where the little gold-rush towns of Jackson, Sutter Creek, and Angels Camp are defined by historic hotels, gorgeous Victorian homes that cling to cliffsides, and museums that display the area's fascinating history. The roads north into the Sacramento Valley lead you to wildlife refuges providing opportunities to view great flocks of migrating swans and snow geese. You can even head to the San Francisco Bay Area, to Oakland, Berkeley, Marin County, or San Francisco itself. This lovely garden apartment makes a perfect base for exploring all of these outstanding destinations in sunny northern California.

As cyclists we came to Sacramento to essentially cycle all over the place. The garden apartment was the prefect place for us with enough space to relax after long days in the saddle. The back garden area was a great space to dine with the background soothing noise from the fountain and low lights from the gardens. The bed is very comfortable especially after long days. The full kitchen made it easy to make meals in the morning and a couple of dinners. I have to say location location. Close enough to the American river trail and close enough to downtown was prefect for the shorter days in the saddle. The grounds are secure for our bikes and Robert & Wende made us feel very welcome. Thank you for great place to stay.

This garden apartment was just what was needed while visiting our first grandchild! It was truly a "home away from home" for us! Everything was immaculate and fully supplied with any amenities that could possibly be needed for a stay in the best part of Sacramento. The owners couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating! We'll definitely be back!
Owner response:Thank you for your thoughtful posting. We look forward to your next visit and another glimps of your beautiful grand daughter.

In June 2010 my husband and I stayed at the comfortable and lovely Garden Apartment for a week while we visited friends and family in the Sacramento/Davis area. What a treat! The apartment is situated in a gorgeous Sacramento neighborhood suitable for walking and easy access to restaurants, grocery stores and banks. Spanish architecture and the lush garden courtyard made our stay in the apartment feel like a retreat: an excellent respite for our busy days. We began each day with a neighborhood walk and each evening we enjoyed the apartment looking out on the courtyard garden. The owners were kind and responsive. We highly recommend it for others!

We stayed in this lovely apartment during our visit to Sacramento for our granddaughter's birthday. We plan to make it our "home away from home" on future visits. It is clean, comfortable and well maintained. Beautiful patio and great location. Last but not least....Wende and Robert are delightful hosts.

This is a wonderful place to stay! I stayed for 8 nights and I hated to leave. This guest house is clean, neat, beautifully furnished and decorated, and extremely comfortable. The garden is spectacular. My favorite restaurant in Sacramento is about two or three blocks away, along with coffee shops, other good restaurants and shopping. I'm looking forward to staying there again.
Owner response:Thank you Pat for taking the time to enter a review. We enjoyed having you as our guest and look forward to your next visit.

I began by renting this fabulous pieds-a-terre for my first month at a new job in Sacramento. I stayed for an entire year!!The space is so brilliantly laid out and beautifully decorated that it seems like much more than 600sq.'...especially with the lovely patio constantly filled with flowers and the sound of a nearby fountain. The neighborhood is the best...near restaurants, shops, downtown and the Capitol, and major routes to all the surrounding countryside towns and recreation. If you're coming to or near Sacramento...this is where you'll want to stay. Laura Chick

In every respect, this cozy place exceeds expectations. Yes, in regard to welcome, hospitality, comfort, appointments, a host of amenities, and all else, it goes beyond what one hopes for and sometimes fails to find. We enjoyed a week, with easy visits to Sutter's Fort, The Capitol, the Train Museum, the Auto Museum, Old Town, the Delta King, and to St. Paul's and Trinity Cathedral, both worth a visit to see the famous window or to go to services. Our warmest thanks to the hosts at this safe, warm, peaceful, and convenient spot.

We spent over a week at this lovely apartment in March. It is just as described and very spacious for 3 adults. Even the convertible sofa bed was comfortable for our 6 ft 19 year old son. We arrived well after midnight, but the area was very well lit and getting into the apartment at that time wasn't a problem. Wende and Robert are very knowledgeable about the area and were very helpful with directions and tips to make our visit even better. There are many guidebooks in the apartment which were also a plus. We would not only recommend it, but would also stay here again if we return to Sacramento.

We just returned from our stay at the Garden Apartment, March 2009. We were very pleased with the pristine exterior and interior of the cozy apartment that is nestled in a quiet well-groomed garden setting. The owner was very hospitable and we will definitely look forward to another visit.

We stayed at the Sacramento Garden Apartment for 5 days in January 09. We found the apartment to be smart, meticulously well maintained, with quality appointments and beautiful artwork. It is quiet and private and the hosts are friendly and helpful. It is within walking distance to several restaurants and cafes and close to other shops. We would highly recommend it.
