Perfect location to explore the area. Close enough to downtown to ride a bike to shops and restaurants. We were fortunate enough to have timed our visit to enjoy the Peddlars Fair downtown. The house is very clean and comfortable with modern touches. We really appreciated the peaceful outdoor space. Very responsive and helpful host.

Stef was an excellent host!!! I had to delay my decision to stay due to possible surgery coming up and Stef was extremely accommodating. In addition he was very communicative and patient with my delays in being able to reserve. The property was very comfortable and welcoming. Very much like staying at home rather than in a "rental" property. We have family in the area who were allowed to come visit and hang out with us no problem. We will be booking any time we want to visit the area or just to get away!! This is THE place to stay!!!

The house is even nicer than the pictures depict. We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a very nice comfortable home with all that you need. The back door lock didn't work for us. However, the host is wonderful, very responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

This house was absolutely perfect for our stay. It’s a lovely home that is immaculately kept and well appointed. Stef was amazing along the way and very responsive and accommodating. We spent hours on the back porch enjoying the weather and each other’s company and the house is close to everything you could want to do in Benicia.
