The space
Description
Please read all before booking and/or messaging with questions.
Inside The Home:
This is a ONE bedroom private home. All spaces inside are unshared. The bedroom has a comfortable queen bed that will sleep 2. There is an air mattress available upon advance request at no extra charge. At around 800 total square feet this home is larger than a hotel stay but still on the smaller to side so I recommend (with air mattress) no more than 3 adults and one child. A $15 charge per day will be added for any more than 3 guests, adult or child.
Although many updates have occurred, this home was built in the 1940’s. As such, things can look “older.” As you’ll read in the reviews, the home is spotless however, sometimes elements of the home will show wear. The rub for example, is currently painted with ceramic paint that will sometimes chip off. At times the grout will be darker from wear. The floors are original wood showing age. Understand that the affordable rate also means this is not a flawless hotel.
The kitchen is sufficiently stocked with spices, coffee bar, refrigerator, dishes, dish soap and dish towels.
Things to note:
This home is a duplex. There is an additional attached unit on this property. The portion that is available to you is the front street facing portion. Towards the back is the other unit. This back unit is also an Airbnb listing so you may see other guests on the same property, but never in the same space other than maybe the driveway.
The neighborhood I would rate as a B or C due to the age and location. It is an older neighborhood. An example of what you may see include a few homes with unwatered grass and every now and then a people walking around. There is an elementary school directly across the street so it is a block with a lot of attention to safety. If you prefer being around new neighborhoods with new construction, new homes and new landscaping this may not be the house for you. Just one block West of this neighborhood is Old Van Ness area which is a historical area of town with big beautiful homes and is one of Fresno's most desirable neighborhoods.
Are you looking to stay long term? 3 weeks or longer? If so great! We love long term stays, however please be advised that the best time to book an extended stay is at least 6 months in advance. Please check our calendar... if the dates seem unavailable unfortunately they are.

Noise- There is a school across the street and train tracks halfway down the block. Although noise from either is rarely complained about, I thought it might be worth mentioning!
Ring Doorbell-For our safety and for yours, we do have one Ring Doorbell for this property. The Ring Doorbell can be found facing the parking space in the front of the home as well as monitoring who comes and goes from the home. Footage is recorded.
