About this property
Downtown Bakersfield Home w/ Yard & Smart-TVs
Summary:
Renovated 3-bedroom home in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. Sleeps 6 with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, central AC, fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, and private driveway parking — with downtown dining, hospitals, and Dignity Health Arena, Theater and Convention Center minutes away. Whether you're here for work, a medical stay, a family weekend, or a downtown event, this home makes it easy. Spread out across three bedrooms, cook a real meal, get work done on fast WiFi, and unwind on the large covered porch.
The Space:
Spread out and make yourself at home in this fully renovated downtown house, built for groups who want room to breathe. Three bedrooms sleep six in real comfort: the primary suite features a California King, while the two additional bedrooms each have a queen and share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom — a layout that works just as well for two couples or a few traveling colleagues as it does for a family.
The heart of the home is an open living and dining area with seating for all six, so everyone can gather for a meal or spread out with four smart TVs to wind down their own way. The full kitchen is equipped for everything from morning coffee to a holiday dinner, and the indoor laundry room makes longer stays easy. Central AC keeps the whole house cool through Bakersfield summers, and fast WiFi plus a dedicated workspace make it simple to get work done when you need to.
Out back, the large covered porch is made for slow mornings with coffee, and the spacious backyard is ready for evening get-togethers and entertaining. Free driveway parking and contactless self check-in mean you arrive easy and settle in on your own schedule.
Guest Access:
You can park on the driveway during your stay.
We will send you a code for the front door before checking in.
Getting Around:
This guest house sits right in the heart of downtown Bakersfield, so much of the city's best dining, coffee, and nightlife is an easy walk or a quick drive away. Getting around by car is simple — Highway 99 and Highway 58 are both just a few minutes out, and Meadows Field Airport is about 15 minutes away. Park for free on the well-lit street right out front, and let yourself in anytime with your private smart lock code.
Distances from the front door:
• Downtown dining & nightlife — about 3-5 minutes, a 15-minute walk
• Mercy Hospital Downtown — about 3 minutes (a 15-minute walk)
• Dignity Health Arena, Theater & Convention Center (formerly Mechanics Bank Arena) — about 5 minutes
• Bakersfield Memorial Hospital — about 7 minutes
• Kern Medical — about 12 minutes
Whether you're here for a concert, game, or show at the arena, or in town on a medical or travel-nursing assignment, you're just minutes from where you need to be — with Mercy Hospital Downtown close enough to walk.
Interaction with Guests:
We want your stay in Bakersfield to be as comfortable and seamless as possible. While our self check in process using a smart lock code allows you to arrive and settle in at your convenience, we are always available if you need anything. We are just a message away through the booking platform and strive to respond to all inquiries promptly throughout the day. Whether you have questions about the house or need local recommendations for dining and entertainment, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Stayed for the weekend and we were really happy with the house and location. Quiet street with easy parking. The house was cozy and nicely remodeled. Beds were comfortable. Eric was very responsive and easy to work with.
We needed a place to stay in our hometown for just a few nights. Our home is being remodeled and the painters needed us out! Thank goodness this property was available and the owners even allowed us to check in a few hours early because we had nowhere else to go. We enjoyed staying in this part of our town and the uniqueness of the home.
We enjoyed our stay in this charming, clean, well-appointed home.
The home owner, Eric, was easy to communicate with and quick to respond.
We all felt it was the best home we have rented in Bakersfield during our family visits.

We are Bakersfield Natives and love what Bakersfield has to offer. I am in construction and my wife is an accountant.
Why they chose this property
We love this property because of the old neighborhood feel and the vicinity to downtown Bakersfield. Downtown has flourished in the past few years with new places to eat and things to do but keeping that small town feel.
