Nice home in central Bakersfield
We are a regular vrbo travelers and would rate Fay and Luke’s place as one of the nicest, best located, and real value of all the places we have stayed. The place was very clean, modern, had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk/drive to the places we wanted to go. They did a fabulous job on their remodel!

Beautiful, updated home in quiet neighborhood
This property was just as nice AND clean as shown in the listing pictures. The house is very spacious in the living and kitchen area and has everything for a comfortable stay, including a washer and dryer.
It was a quiet and peaceful stay and we will book again when we are back in town.
