Smart Eclectic ART HOUSE near UC Davis Med Center

Great art

The hosts were quick to help with any problems we encountered (like with the TVs).

The TVs in the house are very slow - there is a delay when you press a button or click on an icon - the streaming services are especially slow and kept freezing.

The house is fine, it's very pretty and comfortable, but all the appliances are really old. The heating is super loud, the TV is from early 2000 and the remote is missing so the aftermarket one doesn't actual turn it off and on or adjust the volume. It looks nice, but needs an update and some basic maintenace

Location was great. Plenty of on street parking. The unit is part of a duplex and was clean and well maintained except for the window coverings. Looked to be well stocked as far as kitchen utensils but didn't use much of the kitchen. Art inside the house was amazing. Heater worked fast and well.

Some of the window coverings including those facing the street and shared driveway were a little sparse but other than that, the duplex was clean and quiet.

Oh my, too much to mention. Quiet, very comfortable. The art work was such a lovely addition. Great neighborhood. Accommodations were great. I highly recommend.

Instructions for the stay were vague for us…no instructions for the tvs…if it had been summer season it wouldn’t have mattered but it was a long evening. Also check out. We tend to be very considerate about our stay and wondered about dishes and garbage. Also, for pet friendly, there was no grass for the dogs, had to walk down the street, however, it was a beautiful neighborhood, very friendly, so that balanced out the lack of grass at the studio.

We enjoyed staying at this fun, art-filled, colorful, cozy house in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful older houses that have loads of personality, mature gardens/ landscaping on a tree lined street. Very quiet and peaceful, with people on walks and at this time of year many Halloween decorations... it felt festive and family oriented. Great location, feels safe and next to fabulous destinations, incredible older neighborhoods nearby with stunning architecture as well as historical destinations, wonderful restaurants, nice shops, easy access to the freeway, and just a beautiful area. It was the nicest part of Sacramento we experienced on our trip. Our host was great at communication and providing amenities. The neon cactus in the window made it easy to find the place at night. There is art in every room and most of it is available to purchase. There were pieces I would love to have if it were in my budget... they were definitely reasonably priced, just not something we could afford at the moment. The owner is a visionary with his gallery destinations. We were thankful to be able to book this rental because when researching hotels and seeing reviews, this seemed much cleaner, safer, quieter, more private, bigger, without unexpected additional charges for parking or cash deposits and we were right. The owner has other art house destinations and if we stay in Sacramento again, we will be thrilled to stay at any of them. Honestly, when researching similarly priced hotels (even the high priced ones not in our budget), there were so many reviews that mentioned roaches, bed bugs, soiled bathrooms and bed linens, poor maintenance, additional fees for parking or no on site parking/ having to park far away, car thefts, noise, cigarette odors, freeway noise, sketchy areas with only the freeway nearby, no nice destinations, and unexpected fees. This was none of that. It was the best option in all ways.

I can't say that we didn't like anything. The interior design is very modern and beautiful but this is an older home with years of history so if you're expecting it to be restored like new it isn't, though it is really nice in our opinion and we love the vintage character, which makes it cozy, so we were very content staying here and it was clean. The heater worked great, but the furnace was more audible than ours (because ours is in our attic & theirs is in the hallway) so if you're a light sleeper and you use it after going to bed, it may wake you when it kicks on, but we had no problem going back to sleep and the hum once it starts up again will get you back to sleep like a noise machine made for sleeping.
