Great house, excellent location
Had a great time at Sam's house. It's located just a few blocks from the downtown plaza and easy access to campus. We could walk to pretty much anything we needed. Nice market a few blocks away, new ramen shop a block away, plaza is 7 blocks away. House is a really nice older house. I have a soft spot for old houses, and like their quirkiness. House is laid out very logically. There's a nice office in the back and we used the smaller third bedroom as a quiet reading/hanging out room. Sam was very communicative and easy to reach. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip if it's available.

Pride of Ownership
We stayed here for a family wedding and was ideally located near the main Plaza as well as a local market, coffee shops, and a couple local restaurants. My father has a little trouble walking but commented that he liked the hand rails down the hallway to the bathrooms and in general was easy for him to get around. The place also had lots of charm and was very clean. There is definitely pride of ownership there. Two nit-pik items to be aware of are: 1. it is on a loudish corner with some traffic and the occasional college students walking by in the evenings. If you are sensitive to that, it could be an issue. 2. one of the two bathrooms is functional and nice, but very small. Over all, it was a great place and would stay there again without hesitation.

Great location and comfortable home
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.

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 needs cleaning, noisy, limited dishware
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.

Gorgeous Rental Home
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.
