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.

Perfect location for a work trip to Benicia. The house was clean and Stef was responsive with communication. The oranges hanging off the bushes and over the porch railing were an added bonus to see in the morning.

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.

Completely seamless & a wonderful stay. Very central location in a quiet neighborhood. Felt at home and we all slept well. I'll definitely stay again when we are back to Benicia. Stef was great at responding quickly & there was even a cute little booklet at the property with house info for every question you could think of. We had a great stay.
