We could walk to so many local shops and restaurants with ease. The house was a cute old bungalow with plenty of space for cooking, visiting, and playing games with the family. Look forward to another stay.

Great early 20th century charm with nicely added updates. It doesn't have the exterior charm of some neighboring Victorians, but it is definitely very functional.

We loved this house. It had so much character and the location was great as well. Walking to downtown and the university. This place worked out really well for us and we will be back!

This was the perfect place to enjoy the area from. Extremely comfortable and just a short walk into town or a short drive to almost everything else.

Really neat old house, we loved the antique kitchen. House has beautiful details throughout, feels special to stay in an old house. That said, old houses come with old smells, so if you're sensitive, consider this.
Also, they appear to be remodeling an adjacent property so when we arrived there were work vehicles taking up the only parking spot and the street parking is 2 hr only or prohibited between certain hours. Be aware, the work crew uses this property for restroom.breaks so we were surprised when a very nice man let himself in the backdoor to use the restroom! We all had a good chuckle at the shock and he retreated quickly! Some better communication by the owner to the work crew might be in order for times when it's been rented. Because of the construction the yard is littered with debris as well making our first impression a little dubious about what we'd find inside.
Inside is truly delightful and overall clean. That said, the tub did have a prior guest's hairs throughout. We also find hair in the sheets and on a pillow. I'm thinking just didn't get sloughed off in the dryer but still, felt a little icky having to pick someone else's hairs out of the sheets.
We used the trundle twin and had to locate sheets for it in a closet...due to infrequent use they smelled musty and the mattress pad for that bed has noticeable stains on it.
Finally there was no welcome book or anything in the property to give us instructions or tips, etc.

Nice home has had some nice work done and nice touches. needs work. No screens. Lot of windows painted closed.
Only 4 cups, 3 mugs. No bowls for eating, just large serving bowls. A few plates. But stocked with cookware. Check if dishes before you go if you plan to cook. We had to give up on that.
Not sure they use a cleaning service as floors, kitchen and bathrooms need it. Bedding was clean.
Musty smell and noisy street. Lots of cars. Will impact sleep if noise bothers you.

We stayed here while touring Humboldt with our son and had a great time. The hosts are attentive and available and very knowledgeable about the area. The home is well-maintained, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. The beds are cozy and there is a ton of natural light. We walked to the school and out to dinner and coffee. Did not need to use our car at all to get around. We hope to be back.
