Stayed here for Humboldt family weekend and it was very walkable to school and to Arcata. Great, quiet neighborhood and the place had a secluded backyard. Everything you need was there in the galley kitchen, and it was a comfortable stay. Loved the local cat!

Cozy and comfortable

This place proves that good things come in small packages! This was a super comfortable place to stay while visiting my daughter. It was great to be able to bring my dog, but I will say the lay out is more suited to smaller breeds. Comfortable cleans and cozy.

Overnight stay

We stopped over for a single night but everything was better than expected. Great price for the comfort and cleanliness. The bed and entire facility was extremely well furnished and very comfortable. We had a great nights sleep which is exactly what we needed. One of the cleanest and well kept facilities I’ve stayed at for the price.

Clean & cozy

This space is clean & private, excellent for one person, would be tight for 2. Everything is well-marked and easy to figure out. There is a binder with thoughtful suggestions of where to eat and what to do in the area as well as a bicycle to use around this bicycle-friendly town. The private yard is a little soggy though was welcome given the sunshine we got in the morning. Many thanks.

An excellent tiny house

Overall very comfortable. Lots of thoughtful touches. Comfortable bed with delightfully warm comforters. Not well insulated but space heaters are very effective. Shower had strong warm water flow. Small refrigerator, hot plate, microwave, utensils. Nice sun room if you are around during the day. Things I learned: to open the blue gate, pull on the knob while pushing on the door; to find the key, pull down the little black door, where you'll find the code numbers, then pull that part toward you- the key is behind rplate with numbers. It is centrally located in being only you a couple minutes drive from most things, including the airport. I would stay there again.

Sadhana couldn’t have made such a small, yet cute studio any more cozy and accommodating than she did. Our short stay was lovely. The kitchenette is stocked with teas, coffee, a Brita filter, and dinnerware as well as a fridge, countertop stove, etc. The studio is only a walk away from downtown and Cal Poly Humboldt. The most hospitable VRBO we have visited.

I did a quick overnighter to pick up my son from Cal Poly and Sadhana's place was perfect for my needs. The unit is private and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchenette was stocked with coffee and lots of tea, everything was clean and I won't hesitate to book this unit again for my next trip up there. Close to the campus, downtown and the community forest. Communication was fast and easy. Great stay.
