The apartment is spacious and well appointed with thoughtfully coordinated design items. One could stay a long time in this spot.
The bed was quite comfortable.
Check in glitch due to my thinking I had reserved via Expedia, which I HAD, but instructions were at VRBO and I couldn't get into that site. The host did answer at about midnight, so that was appreciated. Expedia was not helpful!
Very central location.
Expedia brags about what you see is what you pay, but I am not sure the VRBO charges were front and center. Not sure.
This property was perfect for our visit with our son at Chico State. It was spacious, comfortable, very close to campus, and has two luggage racks. That last point may seem trivial, but it was a great touch from the owners and very rare! Anthony communicated clearly and at the right times. Finally, the price was extremely reasonable!
The location was easy to access great walking distance from downtown and the room was well equiped, clean and taken care of with amenities perfect for someone wanting to experience Chico as if living there.
Love this place, cute, clean and great location. Very clean. I gave the 4 stars because The towels smelled like cigarettes, maybe from being washed or folded in a home that smokes? The house does NOT smell like smoke
Love the location, great bed, nice shower pressure, can be a bit loud on weekends, but you’re right by Chico State, great energy as far as I’m concerned.
We had such an amazing experience staying here! Not only was this house centrally located and so easy to walk to downtown, but it so quaint and cute. We’ll definitely be looking to come back and booking here again! Love it!
Place was apparently very mistreated by previous visitors so we want to be fair. There aren’t any windows that open in the whole apartment, which meant we couldn’t get rid of the nasty cigarette smell. Owner offered us a discount for all our trouble but we haven’t seen or heard from him since. Bed and covers were very comfortable, but when we tried to use the heater, it would blow a fuse. The shower was very slippery—they need to put non-stick mat on the floor of the shower. Place is cute and the location is great. Need to make a few minor upgrades
Easy check in and check out. The property was clean and had plenty of space for me and my friend. It gets a bit loud in the mornings sleeping next to the street but overall a nice place to stay.
The accommodations were excellent. Our only complaint is being awake from 3-5 am both nights. The upstairs tenants got home at 3, made a lot of noise coming in and then continued to be loud after arriving at their apartment. At 5pm the loud neighbors finally stopped. I would stay again but only if I knew these neighbors were moved out.
Super location. Block from the University and a block from downtown. It doesn't get any better than that! Super comfy and clean with all the amenities one would need. We have found our go to spot in Chico! Thanks Anthony and Ava
