Nice Place & Great Location

This is a lovely home and we particularly enjoyed the Asian motif. The house was spacious, clean, in a nice quiet neighborhood & conveniently located. We also liked having a fenced backyard for our dog. The hosts were very responsive. They answered our questions promptly and clearly. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for for providing a nice place for us to stay.

Great Place

This was a great place, super clean and cute. Hosts were super responsive. They only thing I would say is that it really only sleeps 6 in beds, unless you plan on bringing an air mattress for the "game room". There was a futon mattress but on the floor. Not very comfortable for adults.

Perfect for what we wanted

My friend and our two 13-year olds needed a place with enough beds (this was perfect - the boys got the two twin beds), within walking distance of downtown (about 2 miles) and somewhere safe so the boys could wander around without us. They really enjoyed being independent. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The house was very clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Communicating with the host was super easy, they were very quick to reply and give suggestions. Nothing about this visit would we change.

Asian Vibes

Cute place! If you're looking for beds on the floor this is the place. Host is very nice and let us check in early for an additional fee. Host asks that you do not wear shoes in the house but allows pets. There is lots of pet hair from previous guest on floors and on the Asian bed frames. If you mind pet hair this is not the place for you. Overall, Great place to stay if you need to stay in Chico.

Relaxing Zen Garden in Chico

It was great to get away & to include our dogs. We were never able to get the internet to work & our contact's response was to use our phones. The microwave didn't work and the fry pans and utensils need replacing. Check in was only given 10 minutes before the start time & we had problems getting to the VRBO site for info using our phones. Finally used 2 phones at once to get to the site for the landlords instructions. Luckily the house was unlocked when we arrived. The bedroom next to the bathroom was near a busy street so it was quite noisy at night. Great central location.
