Visit to Redwoods

The apartment was clean and comfortable, just as described by owner. It was only a block off the square in Arcata so easy access to shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Convenient

Comfy beds, useful if minimalist kitchen, surprisingly quiet for such a central location. Do note that the unit is upstairs with no elevator—not an issue for us, but could be for others. Also—the parking is tight, but we soon figured out to let passengers out before pulling into the spot.

Family trip to Arcata, CA!

We loved our stay in Arcata. It's a classy VRBO with the perfect location near the center of town. The shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance from the property. The VRBO gets a 5 star rating for all the facilities including the heating and the WiFi. We look forward to renting this VRBO again!
