Location/Access: not difficult to park in Sacramento so this house + a rental car was ideal. Seamless in & out driveway parking to be able to visit downtown area, trendy restaurants, & UC Davis Medical Center (our trip purpose.) There is also a McDonalds, grocery, and the nicest Starbucks I have ever been to (with drive/thru) within 1-2 blocks.
Cleanliness: Spotless
Owners: Just the right amount of communication and offered full privacy despite our expected shared use of back yard, sent detailed website with restaurant suggestions, check-in & parking instructions etc, emailed within days of reserving which assured me the booking was valid
Safety: we felt very safe sheltered behind the house and gate and in the driveway at night
Operations: Everything worked, temp good & easily controllable, appliances, excellent water pressure
Entertainment:
Great living space and speaker system that was easy to access through Wifi. selection of games in the front hall closet. Discussing family member’s reactions to the varietal art pieces was fun too, as I can rarely get my family to a museum these days. I absolutely loved the art collection, which included many original works. Quaint dining/sitting area in beautiful CA weather behind the house.
What you can’t see from pictures: House has very high (12-13 foot?) vaulted ceiling. The layout is excellent, halls aren’t cramped, bedrooms feel spacious without being over-sized. Owners had a back up of everything, which was so helpful. We used a toothbrush, salt, laundry pods, paper towels, hair dryer, & garlic salt.
Note: was concerned about past renter review noting no window treatments towards owner house in living area based on previous stay but there were shades so must have been remedied.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
