Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Our grandchildren could curl up on the sofas while the grownups gathered around the dining table. It was perfect for our extended family to get together! The only glitch was that we got the wrong info for getting in. But the owner got back to us right away.

Convenient location and great host interaction, but frankly the house was not in great condition. Very cold, damp, and musty, even with space heaters. A strong mildew-y scent throughout. Lots of off-putting disappointment like stained sheets, broken venetian blinds, broken towel rack, broken bunk bed rail, a bloody handprint on the bathroom door, bare or missing lightbulbs, bedroom and closet doors that don’t fully open because they hit the beds, etc. The kitchen was nice, and the front bedrooms and bath were definitely nicer than those in the rear.

Convenient place to stay

This house was a wonderful place to stay - and the host was very helpful when we had to extend our stay, we're definitely keeping it on our list for future visits. Plenty of room for us and our kids, and it was very refreshing to stay in a rental that wasn't highly fragranced. Easy access to the main travel routes and nearby grocery stores.

Rental for Japanese relatives to attend a memorial

House is clean and roomy for 5 relatives. Very convenient to my home and church where memorial service was held. Alma was so helpful answering questions before they arrived and during their stay — much appreciated. Weather was unusually hot and house isn’t insulated well so it was extremely hot inside till all windows were opened to let in night air. Curb appeal would benefit from pulling weeds, adding new plants, flowers, etc.

Luxury this ain’t, but solid nonetheless

Well, there are a few things to mention straight off: no washer or dryer onsite (somehow I missed this on the listing, but assumed a home in the suburbs would have it); the tv remote didn’t work - we downloaded the Roku app and that worked, but it should be replaced; the deadbolt on the front door is glitchy; we had some ants in the kitchen; and there are not any full length mirrors. That being said, texting with Alma was quick and reliable. The beds were plentiful for such a small house. The hot water was hot and you don’t have to wait a while for it to warm up. There are fans in the rooms. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and easily accessible from the freeway, with good shopping nearby. Overall, it served our purposes, just didn’t exceed any expectations.

Host thought of everything!!

This spacious home had so kuch kore than we expected! Extra blankets, towels, kitchen basics, tv/av hookups, even baby toys and a high chair! Really too much to list! The home is also on a quiet block, close to higheay, walking distance to restaurants, trader joes, coffee shops, hiking trails and more, and host was super accomodating and kind! 45 mins to Napa, just 15 to Berkeley-it was perfect for our trip!

Great neighborhood, plenty of bedrooms

The living room is rather small but there were plenty of bedrooms and the house is very comfortable. Check-in was easy and there are lots of places to walk to -- 99 Ranch down the street, Bart station two blocks away, restaurants nearby. Great place for a family.

To small for more than 4 people

House was smaller sq ft wise very crowded for the number of people they allow. Minimal kitchen things to really cook and serve food. Refrigerator froze most of our foods and liquids. First night go there late and had park two blocks away with a baby and our stuff because the drive way was occupied. Very disappointed at the misleading listing
