From the time we arrived everything was prepared perfectly. The hostess took very good care of us. We would book this place in the future if we traveled there again.
The apartment was very clean, with fully stocked kitchen with filtered water dispenser and a Keurig coffee machine which made all the difference. The beds were very comfortable. Great location just 40 minutes away from Redwood NP and SP.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again. Clean apartment, comfortable beds, and beautiful property in a convenient location. Host was friendly and easy check in!
Host met us when we pulled up and oriented us. Super friendly and pointed out the nearby biking trails. Cottage had everything we needed and had really nice decor. We will definitely stay here next time! Bonus was the beautiful star jasmine fragrance blowing through the open balcony doors, at sunset and the other flowers in bloom in the gardens.
You are very kind. We are are glad you enjoyed your visit and you have a wonderful family. It was our pleasure to host you as you visited this beautiful part of the world.
Great location -very convenient and served our purpose of visiting Trinidad, hiking, local eateries and brew houses- while also our daughter at Cal Poly Humboldt. Very nice set up with a full kitchen. Clean and well laid out. Owners were very responsive and friendly. Thank you!
We loved our stay. The rental is nicely decorated, spacious, and has everything you need to have a pleasant stay. The rental is affordable and the property owner is on site, which made me and my mom feel more secure about staying somewhere new. Will stay again.
