The neighborhood is not the greatest, but was surprised how quiet it was. It's across the street from a fire station so that probably helped. When we approached the house we noticed a bunch of cobwebs around the front door. I had to kill a black widow to enter the home. There were weeds so it hadn't been maintained in a while. The second day the owners father was trimming them which was kind awkward when we arrived. The home looked to be recently updated. The water had rust coming out of it (water was dirty), so I would suggest replacing the water heater. We found an Alexa device plugged in which can be used to remotely listen in on the property. We quickly unpowered it. The only other major concerning thing we found was what appeared to be a "drug spoon" which was found by my my teen daughter in the bedroom nightstand. Luckily she didn't touch it. It would have also been nice if there was local/cable television.

Very clean rental with bright airy rooms

We had a wonderful stay and the host was quick to respond to questions. The living space is great, large and allowed for our group to hang out comfortably, the bedrooms were very comfortable, but the yard is completely unmaintained and overgrown with weeds. Also, the front door drape situation definitely needs to be fixed. Lastly, the recommendation to go to the brewery block away is a good one, we had a great time there.

The stay left me with mixed feelings. The inside of the house is great; nice and clean. The living room and kitchen are very large with plenty of seating. The house is well stocked with utensils and dishes. The owner was very responsive to communication. The neighborhood near the property could be concerning to some, but it was a quiet and safe location. However there were a few concerns. The listing stated it was a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, however that is inaccurate. There are 3 bedrooms with 4 beds total, and only 2 bathrooms. The yard was unkempt with very tall grass and foxtails. The front door is difficult to use and figure out how to properly lock it so we used the side door. We were provided plenty of towels and washclothes, but not enough hand towels. The iron had some sort of residue burned to it and even after scrubbing it with a towel, there was still residue deposited onto my clothing. The air conditioner seemed to have a mind of its own. 69 degress felt like 72, but 68 degrees felt like 65. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and the property could easily be a 5 star property with a few minor updates to the listing and supplies provided and regular yard maintenance.

The Art house was a fun place to stay, clean, and had everything we needed!

Every thing was great

House ok. Neighbought was different.

This property has potential to improve, but a few concerns arose during our stay. The property is located on the border of a middle class neighborhood and an area of Sacramento that is struggling economically and prone to property crime and vandalism. I can see how some people might not feel safe walking around the neighborhood, especially at night. The property itself looked like a recent conversion, nice and comfortable enough on the inside but the front and back yards still needed a lot of work. The backyard was not usable due to weeds and equipment stored there, and the fences to adjoining properties need repair. There is an abandoned church next door. I wish the owner had communicated more effectively with us regarding a worker who just showed up one day and started doing work in the back... Kind of weird when you hear sounds coming from the back of the house and you see a man with a shovel outside the window. The garbage cans out front were overflowing with garbage from the last visitors. Also, there is no way to unlock the house from the inside without a key. This is a safety hazard and should be addressed soon. The majority of the art that is for sale in the house seems to be from the host, as opposed to artists who live in the community... Not a negative per se, but the description in the listing (about supporting artists in the community) seems misleading. For the price that we paid, my family expected more.
