My sister and I had a lovely stay in this Benicia gem! The property was very much as advertised in the listing and photos. Be aware - the kitchen/living room is a few steps down from the family room/lower level bedroom/bathroom (this wasn't clear from the listing/photos). Not a big deal at all for us but may be for guests with mobility issues. Stef always replied promptly and was a joy to interact with. It was hot during our stay so we especially appreciated the air conditioner, ventilation fan, shaded back deck, ice maker and chilled filtered water. The TV/sound system instructions could use some updating but this didn't affect us too much as we didn't have time to watch too much TV. The backyard was lovely and the fruit trees provided sweet treats (a few plums had ripened for us to enjoy during our stay). The reviews are correct -- this property is easily a 5 out 5. Easy access to the freeway (but far enough away that you don't get the noise). Also easy access to the grocery store, awesome little shops of downtown Benicia, and the beautiful waterfront. If we ever find ourselves in the San Francisco Bay area again, we will book this property again! Thanks for a wonderful stay, Stef!

Nice place

We had the best get away in this beautiful home. Stef was amazing and very attentive to all needs and questions. The house is beautiful and well stocked. Very convenient location for our stay. Would absolutely recommend and hope to stay here again.

This place was very clean and had everything we needed. It’s a great location with easy access to get from San Fransisco and tour the surrounding areas such as Napa, Muir Woods, and the ferry to get back to San Fran without driving for the day. It was also very convenient to drive to downtown Benicia. The host was very informative and responsive to all messages. I definitely would recommend this place.

We had a great time staying at Stef's house with our dog. The home is walkable to 1st St (downtown Benicia), which has lots of cute shops and restaurants, and also close to the freeway. The house is spacious, very clean and comfortable. Stef was very communicative and flexible, including allowing us to check in early. We would definitely return!

The house was beautiful, well located, and is very well equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent. The owner is not only an excellent communicator, but was also very accommodating to our needs. Lots of on street parking. Calm, quiet neighborhood. Very walkable to downtown locations. Beautiful, fenced backyard/deck space.

From the moment one walks through the door it feels like home. It is so comfortable and beautifully restored. It smells of furniture polish and has a very happy feel about it. The kitchen is well stalked and big enough to cook a meal. The open plan living/dining room is spacious and the high ceiling makes it very airy. A couple of the upstairs rooms are locked, but two bedrooms and two bathrooms are plenty enough space to stretch out. The backyard is large and offers good space for a dog to roam. There is a small grassy part below the deck that leads into a hidden little wilderness, perfect for dogs and children to play. The main floor bedroom mattress is on the firmer side. All appliances we used were in perfect working order. Some of the kitchen lights were flickering, but even with them turned off the place was bright enough. The TV was a challenge to sort out. We just pressed several buttons until we had success, this took a few minutes every day. But there is certainly enough reading material to keep one occupied. The neighbourhood is quiet but not necessarily ideal to walk a dog. But it feels safe and with the grassy front and backyard there is enough space for a dog to play a little ball. The only thing I would ask the owner to consider is to install a motion light on the porch. It was very difficult to operate the keypad in the dark on our arrival. Thank you for letting us stay, we would not hesitate to rent this house again when working in the area.

The house is very comfortable and easy to access. The location is ideal for access to the town’s restaurants and shopping. I would rent this home again.
