This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed here and I really enjoyed my stay. The place is walkable to everything you need from the grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants and bars. The place had all the amenities I needed for our stay. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and the place was cozy for us to spend time with our son who lives in Arcata. The host was very communicative and accommodating as well.
