Guest Access
Your studio apartment has a private entrance and a yard surrounded by topiary hedges shaped into a dragon and two whales and includes a picnic table for your enjoyment. Please be aware your dog may need to be leashed to avoid its possible escape from under the hedges. Parking is on-street in a safe neighborhood. Arcata is very walkable and almost every restaurant, bar, and shop is located within a few-block radius from our home. This studio is in the heart of this vibrant downtown community.
