Featuring garden views, Tranquility at the House of Alchemy Hollywood provides accommodation with patio, around 1 km from Capitol Records Building. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. We had such a wonderful stay in LA! The location was perfect, just a few blocks away from a main hotspot & public transport. The house has everything we needed & the backyard has been turned into such a beautiful oasis. Shay was a fantastic host & made us feel very much at home. Her little pooch, Juno, was a star of our trip as well.

Situated within 30 km of University Of California, Davis and less than 1 km of Sacramento Convention Center, IreneHouse Victorian INN features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Sacramento. It is set 1.9 km from Sacramento Valley Station and offers full-day security. Featuring a private entrance, the apartment allows guests to maintain their privacy. We loved this accomodation which was very different from the other ones of our trip. The hostess was very kind with us. The dwelling is an alliance between antique furniture (as the name "Victorean" suggests) and all the comfort you may expect (bed, kitchen equipments, bathroom). Before coming, we confess to have been a little bit anxious about Sacramento according to its reputation, but the neighbourhood seems safe and we had a quiet stay.

Big Sur Campground and Cabins is a 3-star property located in Big Sur. The property features mountain and river views. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Stayed in A-frame cabin #B, and it was beautiful. I loved the architecture and outside miss on the slanted roof. I was pleasantly surprised about all the things it included, as the pictures weren't clear. But it had a full bathroom, small but very clean shower, hot water and good pressure, full small kitchen with microwave, gas stove, all the utensils and plates etc you'll need! (I wish those amenities were clear before I packed so much!) Comfy clean beds and nice dimmer lighting. Also had 4 chairs outside on balcony to enjoy the redwood views. It also had a fire pit and table outside, in addition to the wood burning stove inside. Stayed mid Nov and didn't need heater on, it was great temperature inside with just a hoodie/blankets for sleeping. The camp ground was actually small, which I liked as well. Quiet nights of people in cabins, RVs, and tents around. I also appreciated the free mugs and coffee/cocoa, the fire logs. The staff were nice and informative as well, very pleasant, thank you! Definitely worth asking what is included in your stay, as it may be different depending on what you reserve.
