We were looking for a place to stay for a month in Bakersfield. We wanted something family friendly that we could bring our grandkids to and not worry about damaging anything. This little house was perfect. It was comfortable without being trashed and have a very family feel all the way to the bath toys for kids and great backyard. It really felt like a home.We have stayed at house and condos through VRBO quite a few times in several states and this was by far the best experience.
