A home away from home

We enjoyed a long stay here while our own home was undergoing water damage restoration, and it was comfortable and quiet. We especially enjoyed the pool on hot summer days, and the location is fantastic. If you're willing to walk 20-30 minutes, you can access much of what Castro Valley has to offer, from boba and barbecue to the movies and more. A special shout out to Alex for being a communicative and helpful host!

Excellent place for Oakland/Hayward/Castro Valley

Excellent space - living room, dining room, gorgeous kitchen, comfortable beds, and a pool! And hot tub! Extremely quiet neighborhood at end of dead end street. Felt safe, nice neighbors. Had good access to freeway system and a nice Safeway, coffee shop, light dining very close. Would stay here over and over if going into this area!!
