Pet free, super clean, older Duplex without neighbor noise, off street parking right outside front door, very safe. Stayed here when in area for Vallejo business, definitely a great choice for my situation.
Perfect cottage stay in the very nice historic Benicia Arsenal area. Quiet, pleasant, well equipped. Nice outdoor area to sit, and great walking opportunities right out the front door.
We were having some work done on our home and stayed at Alex’s place in Benicia and it was great, very clean, updated and well laid out for a smaller space. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is walkable to a nearby playground and convenience store. All was great!
We enjoyed our stay over the Memorial Day Weekend. Perfect location not too far from the Bottlerock festival in Napa. The house was beautiful and was exactly as advertised. We explored the cute downtown of Benicia one morning. Thank you Alex for a great stay!
I felt so at home here. The house was perfect and clean, the neighbors said hello in passing, and the town overall was absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to come back next year!
My husband, adult daughter and I traveled from Boston so we could help celebrate our grandson’s first birthday. The house was nearby which was very convenient! The house was cozy for the three of us. It had everything that we needed to ensure a comfortable stay. Will definitely rent again!!
Alex was a great host! Communication was excellent. The property was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed! We would stay here again with no hesitation. Thank you for a great experience!
Stayed the weekend and the property was as advertised. If I had to make one suggestion, there would be a shower mat. I could not risk my elderly mother-in-law stepping into the tub/shower for fear of slipping. Otherwise our stay was perfect.

Thank you, Ed! I hope you enjoyed your stay. We will be ordering a shower mat.
Alex was a great host. He was proactive when he noticed the temp dropping in the house and wanted to get it taken care of ASAP. We liked the temp at 67 so we weren’t concerned but Alex reached out to me directly to make sure we were okay.
Beautiful little space. Perfect for my husband and I. It was adorable, clean, had plenty of coffee and options for coffee. The neighbor helps with the trash and was also super friendly. I would absolutely recommend this VRBO, and truly, any VRBO that Alex has. Probably one of the best experiences I had with a host.
While this location did the job, I would not stay here again. We had a few issues with cleanliness in the bedding, and the lighting. It made it very difficult to get any good sleep. We did have excellent response time with the property owner, and he did offer to get this taken care of for us.
We loved the backyard. It's a small home, and a very quiet neighborhood. It got the job done, but I would not stay here again.

We’ve rented a number of Arbnb and VRBO properties throughout USA and Mexico, this was overall the most beautifully furnished and well stocked rental. We loved the openness of the space, comfy bed & bedding, sparkling white linens, nice bathroom entities, comprehensives of the kitchen, coffee bar details, and so much more.
Everything about this rental was easy, parking, checking-in, & instructions for everything needed were simple. This was a Martinez family visit trip, location was convenient to where we needed to be. We visited during cold March days, so we appreciated the coziness of the home and important to me was the heater and hot water, yes, basics, but you can’t always count on basics. This place was superb in every way! I’m guessing summer is also great, there is a cute yard, with outdoor sitting area. Lastly, I’ll sum it up by saying, it’s a model that should be used for all vacation rentals!
The home is in a quiet location with quick access to freeways and local dining. Due to a family emergency, my trip was extended and the hosts were extremely accommodating. Would absolutely stay here again. Had all the comforts of home.
The home was wonderful. It felt relaxing, clean, and homey. It was completely stocked with all the essentials for home. The home was beautifully decorated inside and out.
Loved our stay, the property was easy to locate and access and was very clean. We would definitely stay again.
