There is a wonderful variety of restaurants, bars, antique shops, and convenience stores within walking distance from the house. A farmer's market which takes place on First Street every Thursday afternoon, is walking distance. Benicia, once the capitol of California, is the perfect place from which you can explore so much of Northern California.

Loved the home & location, a perfect stay!

Completely seamless & a wonderful stay. Very central location in a quiet neighborhood. Felt at home and we all slept well. I'll definitely stay again when we are back to Benicia. Stef was great at responding quickly & there was even a cute little booklet at the property with house info for every question you could think of. We had a great stay.

Lovely home with musical touches

We stayed in Stef's home for a wedding in Benicia and the house was perfect. Loved the Beatles photos. The house is beautifully appointed and has everything you could want. Very comfortable and our dog loved the fenced yard and walkable neighborhood.

First trip to San Fransisco area

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.

Great 7-week stay in Benicia!

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!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house. Stef was a responsive host, and the home itself was clean and inviting. It was quite hot the week we stayed but it stayed cool in the house with the fan on. We love that they allowed pets. We would definitely stay here again!
