The location was easy to access great walking distance from downtown and the room was well equiped, clean and taken care of with amenities perfect for someone wanting to experience Chico as if living there.
Love the location, great bed, nice shower pressure, can be a bit loud on weekends, but you’re right by Chico State, great energy as far as I’m concerned.
We had such an amazing experience staying here! Not only was this house centrally located and so easy to walk to downtown, but it so quaint and cute. We’ll definitely be looking to come back and booking here again! Love it!
Love this place, cute, clean and great location. Very clean. I gave the 4 stars because The towels smelled like cigarettes, maybe from being washed or folded in a home that smokes? The house does NOT smell like smoke
Easy check in and check out. The property was clean and had plenty of space for me and my friend. It gets a bit loud in the mornings sleeping next to the street but overall a nice place to stay.
We loved staying at this historic property in downtown Chico. It is comfortable and cozy, with lots of character. We will definitely try to stay here again!
Super location. Block from the University and a block from downtown. It doesn't get any better than that! Super comfy and clean with all the amenities one would need. We have found our go to spot in Chico! Thanks Anthony and Ava
