A hidden gem

Quiet, clean (pristine), great sleep and loved the location... easy to get in and out of city. Laundry hours are restricted, but that was ok, as I was only there 3 nights.

Great home conveniently nestled on the Bay

Owner was very responsive and helpful. The house was in a nice quiet, charming neighborhood. The purpose of our trip was to visit the baseball parks. Both were very easy to get to by Ferry or Uber.

Wonderful Vintage Alameda Family House

Came with my husband and kids to visit my family in Alameda. We were blown away with how wonderful this house is. There was wisteria blooming in the garden, a great porch to sit on, a very comfortable living room and plenty of space for a family of four with teenage kids. The house was immaculate and the decor was vintage and both fun and tasteful. We will definitely be coming back for future visits!

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. The house was cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The rooms were spacious, and the area was quiet and safe. We tried several restaurants recommended by the host, and they were all excellent. We would love to stay here again when we are in town.
