I would have given 5 stars except for the location. The rooms are beautifully decorated, & everything you need for a comfortable stay is included. There was an issue with the main heat & since we were staying in January, we needed heat. The owners had several space heaters which more than did the job, but I would suggest if the main heat isn't repaired soon that the instructions include the use of the space heaters. You can only plug one in in each living space otherwise you will trip a breaker & the entire space is without electricity. We arrived in the evening so it was dark & cold. We had to contact the owners for help after plugging in the heaters to heat up the place. They were very quick to respond & had someone over within half an hour to fix the problem. All of this could have been avoided with a quick text before check in to give us a heads up. The only other issue we had was the noise. It was a ironic that the rules for the property stress the importance of us being quiet, yet because of the location, there is a lot of street noise until midnight every night, weekends even later. This property is really close to the college so there are a lot of noisy college students walking right past the windows that are right behind the bed & noisy cars playing loud music. If you wear earplugs to bed like my husband does, you'll probably be fine. I don't, so it wasn't fine for me. However, the location does make it very convenient to walk into downtown for a meal or shopping.

My husband and I met in Chico 30 years ago when we were students at Chico State. I remember the way the trees lining the streets light up in yellow, gold and red fall colors. Our stay was in a beautiful location, very clean and well furnished, and the kitchen was stocked with extras like foil, spices and a full size refrigerator. We really liked the down duvet, lots of hot water, free wifi and decor. We enjoyed the offered fresh brewed coffee, everyday! So much to love! We loved our vacation!!

Ava and Anthony made staying in Chico for my high school best friend a breeze. The location is perfect. Easy walk to downtown and the college. The space was super cute too! Had coffee on the porch and chatted with the friendly neighbors. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Chico to book this Chico charmer ❤️
