Holiday Home

We needed additional space from “Grandma’s” to spend Christmas and this was the perfect spot. The hosts have clearly spent a lot of extra effort to add thoughtful touches throughout that made for a cozier and easier stay. The location was convenient- easy walk into town.

Wonderful bungalow

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the YOLO bungalow. It was spotlessly clean, in a great location, and had loads of extra little touches that made it feel like home. The earplugs and white noise machines were wonderful to alleviate the noise from the trains, and the snacks and chilled water were very welcome after a long drive! We would definitely stay here again.

Attention to Detail!

We were in Davis as a stopover for work and to see UC student relatives. We cooked a dinner for the group and the kitchen had all we needed and more. The owners' attention to detail is fantastic: many extras for cooking, snacks, pet needs, toiletries, etc. Above and beyond! The house is very organized and clean. There are businesses across the street, but parking wasn't an issue in the evening, and one can park behind the gated part of the driveway that locks. Lovely backyard and pet-friendly. Highly recommend when Davis-bound.
