This small home is near the park, but also near a noisy highway. The traffic did not bother us too much, but I was surprised by it. The batteries were low in the remote control for the TV, and several light bulbs were burned out. It was easy to communicate with the owner, but it would be nice for those kinds of things to be checked ahead of time. Chico is a lovely, friendly city and staying here was affordable and convenient. Even our dogs were allowed, and there is a little yard in the back.

This was our 2nd stay in this property and it once again didn’t disappoint. Charming, clean, cozy, comfortable, excellent location, close to everything including the freeway which you cannot really hear from this rental. The communication with the owner was effortless and prompt … once again, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. See ya next year and know that the 3rd time will be a charm too.

Nice area for our dog in back. Bed too noisy. Not familiar with the TV but had books with us. The shower was really small.

All the essentials are covered. Perfect for a business trip, or a short visit. Not exactly a vacation rental. The shower is pretty small and the bed is super creaky! Would be nice if there was a washer/drier, but this is why this place is perfect for a short visit. It has everything you need, without all the little extras that ultimately just add up to a more expensive room.

This rental has everthing you need for a comfortable stay and goes beyond. The rental is stocked with items that you may need (spices, shampoo...) yet you may not find in other rentals. Location is close to downtown Chico and steps from the beautiful Lower Bidwell Park bike/walk paved trail. Sharing that coffee in the am is a french press (and coffee grinder) (in case you're like me and want to be prepared for your am caffeine needs). I would stay here again on my next visit to Chico.

Great location near Bidwell Park and not far from downtown and Chico State. Had everything you need for a nice stay. Owners were very accommodating.

I had to stay in Chico a week for business. This was way better than a hotel room - no checking in, parking pass, elevators, annoying staff, maids etc. This place had all the amenities that a hotel room would have plus a kitchen in case you want to make something. The owners even left me a bottle of red wine (nice touch). I have to come to Chico on average about once per quarter. I think I have found my regular spot.

My wife and I plus our 20 pound pooch had a very relaxing 2 day stay. Everything was pretty much as good as as advertised. Great communication by the host. If there is anything on the negative side it would be the size of the shower which despite being a tight fit was manageable for me (6ft, 220lbs), but I fear anyone bigger than me would likely have some issues.
