Excellent all around. I would be happy to stay here again for my next trip to Sacramento. The bedroom was quiet, warm, and the whole place was well appointed. It felt like a home-base away from home.

The hosts were wonderful and accommodating. I struggled a bit because I couldn’t get the place warm enough to feel comfortable. A couple of nights I heard gunshots which was scary. The place was clean with everything I needed. I have mixed feelings because the hosts were so nice and yet I wasn’t comfortable staying there.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad the space was clean and that you had everything you needed, and I appreciate your kind words about the hosting.
I understand how the temperature and nearby noise could make it harder to feel fully comfortable. We’ll take another look at the heating to make sure it’s working well during colder weather.
Thanks again for staying with us and sharing your experience.
The place was generally fine but the heating system is insufficient for when it’s cold (which it was during the first days of our stay) which made it uncomfortable at times.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad to hear the overall stay was good, though I understand how the colder weather could make things feel less comfortable.
We’ll take a closer look at the heating to make sure it’s performing as it should during colder days. I appreciate you mentioning it and helping us keep the experience comfortable for future guests.
It was perfectly located in walking distance for all the local spots we were hoping to visit in Midtown.

Place was a perfect location and such a nice place to stay for the price! We were staying in a tiny hotel room the nights before for what it cost to essentially have a whole house to yourself. Only downside was having to move car every two hours between 10 AM and 10 PM. But it gave us a break from work!
Nice quiet street and easy access to 1st floor apartment
Comfy bed with nice soft pillows too!

We were within walking distance to excellent restaurants, the state Capitol, and the convention center where we attended a performance. We never even moved our car. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Excellent property manager, too.

Very nice rental in Midtown, safe, clean and nice size. Parking is a bit of a challenge with no designated spot and a 2 hour day restriction but overnight is doable if you can locate a spot! Registration prior to arrival is a bit excessive with required selfies, Id copies and a $400 hold on my credit card. Very happy with the place overall!

Great location in mid-town for walking to restaurants, Saturday farm market, and both light rail and bus. The apartment had everything needed for a week’s stay. There was plenty of space and closets. The Wi-Fi and desk made working from home easy.

The apartment was comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen had items needed, except no dish towels.
The shower was big and had a good water flow.For a week stay, more towels would be appreciated.
The neighborhood is very walkable and has restaurants nearby. I would recommend the apartment

Thank you for your review and recommendation! We're glad to hear that you found the apartment comfortable, from the bed to the well-equipped kitchen and spacious shower. We apologize for the oversight regarding dish towels and the shortage of towels for a week-long stay, we'll make sure to address these points. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
The apartment was comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen had items needed for a quick breakfast . The neighborhood was nice, but we only slept there as we were visiting family. A bath mat type towel would have been helpful as we had to use a bath towel, that left us short a towel and we were there for a week.

What a cute place!
My best friend and I were lucky to stay in this very cute apartment on one of our recent shopping trips to Sacramento. What a great place! It had everything we needed. The convenient off-street parking was a definite plus! Communication with the host was always quick and easy. Initially I wasn't too sure about sleeping on the pull out sofa as I didn't think it would be comfortable. Boy, was I wrong! The neighborhood was great and quiet. Access to the freeway was easy and there was a big Safeway nearby. The walk in shower was a religious experience!!! We would definitely stay here again!!!

Tim is a quiet and friendly guest. Clean and followed House Rules. We would gladly welcome him back.
I booked this for a concert at Golden 1 which was cancelled but decided to still stay and visit with friends. Glad I did, I haven't explored this part of Sacramento before. So much to explore and this property is a great spot to walk from. In between, resting my feet and getting a snack, this was a cozy spot to come back to. Easy street parking, felt safe walking at night (other people also around walking), lots of restaurants, cafes, art, etc. nearby. I didn't use the kitchen but it would have been just right for making a light meal. I appreciated the property manager's communication and felt I could reach out if I needed anything. Will return, hopefully when my concert gets rescheduled!

Great location, great space, free parking
Very nice place with everything you'd need and plenty of space in an INCREDIBLE neighborhood. There is so much within walking distance, and Lyft is so easy in Sacramento, that I don't think I needed a car. However, it was nice to have my own free parking spot in the back! The place was clean, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was well-supplied. If I go back to Sac I'll stay there again. One thing - it is a management company, not just an owner, so you'll get communication from multiple different people. This threw me off a little but it was all fine and they did a great job.

Fortunately this was not our first VRBO experience
IF this had been our first VRBO stay, it very well may have been our last. We have stayed in numerous VRBO properties in several states and countries and always were reluctant to leave. This property, we were reluctant to stay even for the one night. Our normal VRBO experience is one of great communication, obvious pride of ownership exhibited and extras that have always made us feel welcomed and extremely comfortable, whether it was an overnight stay or a 7-week stint. Things we can say for this property - they do have free parking and the location is great. The housekeeper does a nice job in that the toilet, sinks and floors were clean. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable. We could get that at a Motel 6 and not pay the additional fees. The communication was poor even though we were encouraged to contact them. In attempting to get the door code the day before arrival, we received an email with an enormous amount of "coding" at both ends with a message in the middle stating the writer (not the owner) "understood and would get back to me in a few." Most of the communication we received from the representatives of the owner were requests that would protect their interests, which is fine, but in return, some attention to our needs would have been appreciated. When you arrive, you do not use the pretty door in the profile. You are instructed to use the side door, which you approach from the back of the house where the parking lot is, go along a very dilapidated fence past trash and weeds to a stoop and door, which could use some attention. Once inside, you are greeted with shabby, minus the chic. Paint is good, but it may be best to address what the paint is covering before you apply your brush. Lots of sins here that are very visible through the paint. BUT the biggest issue is the place needs a really good deep cleaning (e.g. grout, shower, baseboards, etc.). We had no hot water, but it really didn't matter because we heated hot water for the few dishes we used and there is no way either of us would have set foot in the shower or stepped barefoot on the bathmat. This has not been an easy review to write. In fact I waited over a week to do so, but this is a property that does not come up to the standards we have found in our many VRBO stays. We book through VRBO because we want to stay someplace we can make memories to cherish. In ALL previous experiences we have been eager to give a full 5 stars. Not this time.

We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had during your stay. It's disheartening to hear that this property did not meet your expectations and that it fell short compared to your previous VRBO experiences. If there's anything else we can do to assist or if you have any further feedback, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Great location and check in process was smooth. Owner very responsive.
