Convenient, affordable, great for a visit to the city. Comfortable beds. Kitchen and appliances were easy to use for meals, with access to coffee and cooking supplies. I recommend some fresher spices and condiments. Overall, it was great and Robin was very friendly and communicated well with us.

The space was perfect and had everything I needed for a weekend stay. Instructions for checking into the space were easy to follow. It was within short walking distance of a lot of things and a short drive to several beach/hiking parks. This worked really well for two people and I can see it working for a group of 4 with the loft area (we did not use) and the pull out couch in the living room. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and I was able to make morning coffee with the items stocked. Overall great little place to stay and use a s a jumping off point or a fun staycation.

This place was perfect! The use of the space is super efficient and feels open and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. There was even some cream and oat milk in the fridge, which was a MAJOR win for me. I always have to get myself cream for my coffee when I go to rentals. It was an easy walk to lots to do on Solano Ave. I would 100% stay here again.

A little gem in Albany! The back house on this property is a cute little cottage with wonderful art and lots of nice amenities. So cute. We will definitely stay for longer if we have the opportunity in the future. Also the location is amazing; it was walking distance from the restaurant we ate at, Chez Mansour. Robin was a very responsive host which was helpful. We found the main guest bed comfortable but didn't try the loft bed. The kitchen seemed well equipped. The decor was lively and of diverse origin and there were some intriguing books. We didn't use the patio but it looked cute. Thank you, Robin!

This is a very cute cozy house with lots of interesting art and decorations. The bathroom sink was beautiful!I greatly appreciated was that our host was ok with us having a few folks over. For those who attended it worked well and we were all comfortable. It is in an amazing location, all kinds of wonderful restaurants and shops on Solano Avenue which the house is half a block from. We would come back here again!

I spent a month here for work—the apartment was very livable, especially for me as just one person. The location is amazing, Solano Avenue has everything you could want within walking distance, and overall the neighborhood has a really charming/quaint/safe vibe. I thought the apartment could have been cleaner when I checked in (spider webs, lots of accumulated random stuff in the drawers like old smoke detectors and batteries and stuff), but overall the place was super thoughtfully and well-outfitted. Full kitchen gear (knives that actually cut!), fans, spare toiletries, plenty of towels, etc. Would recommend for someone who’s ok with a bohemian option.

Fun place. We'll be back.

We enjoyed the one bedroom cottage. Walking into the cottage was a little challenging with construction next door and a few tiles that were loose walking into the cottage from the outside. Overall it was great.
