Summary:
Walking distance from small business shops, local breweries, eateries and the McGeorge School of Law. Close to the Golden 1 Center, restaurants and bustling midtown; the UC Davis Med Center is roughly 1 mile away, too. There's a small, private outdoor space just next to the garage.
The Space:
This is a 1930's artist’s home with a colorful vibe. 2 bedrooms and a single bathroom. Theres also an outdoor court area with a fire pit. Your booking actually helps real artists within the community! Their art is featured in the house and also available for purchase :)
The Neighborhood:
Oak Park is a rapidly gentrifying area. The area is generally quiet, but the home is near the freeway and there is a slight bustle of passing cars during the day. The house is about a 3 minute walk from the always fun broadway triangle; an area with great shops, breweries, GREAT FOOD and a kick ass bookstore. I love the Plant Foundry (nursery and garden) and i think you might, too.
Also, if you're stopping by in the Summer months (May - September) I highly recommend a visit to Oak Park Gather- a neighborhood event featuring local food and beverage vendors, cool crafts AND live music!
Getting Around:
If you get the chance, try the city's newest form of transit - electric bike sharing! JUMP Bikes are becoming more and more popular in the area and are a really fun way to get around. Of course Uber and Lyft are everywhere too!
Public transportation runs up and down the main cross street (Broadway); although I'm not the best with navigating the routes. Midtown is a 5 minute car ride away.
Other Things to Note:
Please note that the home is close to the highway. There is very subtle car noise at times.
NOTE: We do NOT HAVE cable services. We offer streaming services such as Netflix, Roku, Prime, & Hulu. (Guest has to use their own Netflix account)
Interaction with Guests:
At the front door, you can say "Hi" with the Nest Video Doorbell - just push the button (if you want to).
Basic household information is on the kitchen table - wifi, tv navigation, lights (alexa), temp control instructions , etc. I've lived in Sacramento now for over 20 years- If you'd like advice on where to go for great food, entertainment or even a leisurely hike, just let me know ;).
