The home was gorgeous from the art to the kitchen counters. The view from each room was unique. The location was perfect for walking distance to the square and we got to catch the Saturday morning farmers market. I wish I could have stayed longer to take advantage of the downstairs outside patio. The place was clean and the beds and pillows comfortable! Parking was easy.
Just one block off Lincoln, this is the perfect location if you want to be able to walk to restaurants and bars. My family and I had a great time, the place was very clean and the upgraded amenities made the stay very pleasant.
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and well stocked.
We liked being able to walk to many stores and restaurants. We also liked walking to the farmers market on Saturday, lots of activity going on in the plazza that day.
We just love this cute property! It is so close to the square. You can walk everywhere. We stayed here for parents weekend and the location is perfect. We will definitely stay again.

Thomas was a great guest. Clean respectful of our rules. I highly recommend him to all host. We look forward to seeing him in the future.
We booked this place for move-in at Cal Poly. It is a fantastic place. Everything is remodeled and the owners have thought of everything to make the space inviting. We walked to restaurants and shops as well as the farmers market on Saturday. At just 1 mile away from Cal Poly Humboldt, it was perfect!

Exceptional guests! 5 stars in all ways. Neat, clean, respectful of the space and followed all the House Rules. We highly recommend Sandie to all host. Look forward to hosting Sandie again anytime.
My dad and I met up in Arcata for a visit and stayed 2 nights. This apartment is gorgeous and very comfortable. I was so impressed by the attention to detail and amenities to ensure comfort as well as beauty. The location was perfect- located walking distance to food and shopping, but at the same time, very quiet. Hope to come back again!
The apartment was great: upscale, nice layout , beautifully decorated, spotless., well equipped. We hope to be back.

This was our second stay at Apartment A while visiting our son in Arcata. As before, we found the unit to be clean and welcoming. It is one of the nicest VRBO's we've stayed at (and we have stayed at many.) I can't think of any improvements needed and we won't hesitate to stay again.

Thanks for choosing our apartment for your home base. Look forward to hosting you again.
We had a lovely time at Renee’s place in Arcata. The apartment was the perfect home base for all the fun things to do in the area. The space is beautiful and comfortable. It was so nice being able to do laundry and the internet was fast. Renee is a very gracious host, providing advice on activities and even leaving a few snacks and beverages for us on arrival. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area.

We were so impressed with Apt. A. The location is terrific for Arcata and surrounding areas, within walking distance of the Plaza, shops and markets. Easy access to freeway and surrounding areas. The apartment itself is new, modern, clean and has all necessary accessories needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable. Renee was attentive and responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Thank you for visiting Arcata and choosing Apt A as you home base. Look forward to hosting you anytime in the future.
This was an absolutely fabulous apartment and a great find. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The bedrooms are large and have a ton of natural light. The bathroom is huge and has a great rain shower head. The fenced in private patio was a huge bonus! It gets afternoon sun and is a great spot for reading and blowing bubbles. The patio and the door to the apartment required a code to enter and I felt very safe and secure.
You really could not ask for a better location! The apartment is a block away from the town square. Everything is walkable and there are many fun restaurants to choose from. My granddaughter and I both highly recommend the chocolate croissants at Brio. My son and daughter-in-law also took us to The Burger Joint and Los Bagels which have nice outdoor seating. There is a farmers market on Saturdays with tons of local produce and interesting vendors.
I was in Arcata to spend some time with my 3 year old granddaughter. Renee was such a gracious host! She left juice boxes, goldfish crackers, fruit and a bottle of wine for me! She also thoughtfully selected some children's books from her personal collection - even one with my granddaughter's name in the title! Rene really made me feel welcome and I look forward to visiting again!
