This is a nice little 2 room apartment with a beautifully curated garden in the backyard. Very close and convenient to Northeastern University (Mills College). Would definitely rebook if I have reason to be back in that area for a stay again.

A Peaceful Oasis

Marlene's rental provided a very quiet peaceful atmosphere. I was able to work all day and stroll in her gorgeous garden when I needed a moment of reflection. The location provides easy access to highway 580. Marlene was nice enough to show me her around her garden oasis which provided a nice personal touch. I would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
The apartment was charming and well kept. I did find some amenities lacking. There really should be a chest of drawers in the bedroom to put suitcase cloths items. Also I would have liked a TV. In addition, for anyone who might be handicapped (I have had a hip replacement, and recent hernia surgery), stepping into the bathtub was precarious. I would have put in a walk in shower.

Comfortable and quiet

A comfortable and quiet apartment with separate and secure entry. Clean and well equipped, it is a place one could stay for quite a while, with a little planning and shopping. The google maps directions were not accurate at all though. Thank goodness we persisted and are experienced travelers. We had to look for a while to find it. We chose it mostly for the reasonable cost and location. Close to the Oakland airport and where had business and friends, but still able to access San Francisco easily. I would stay here again. We never did meet the owner, as we arrived late and left early on both days, but the notes she left us were clear enough.

Stunning

The property was gorgeous, and quiet! Marlene was very accommodating. Close to the highway and a filling station. Convenient location outside of SF. Hard to describe all of the subtle aromas, the plants, and the overall environment. Very relaxing. I will definitely be back on my next trip.

WOW, what a cool spot!

We loved this place. Accommodations were very nice, very neat and VERY clean. The space was bigger than we expected and had everything we needed. The location was super convenient to the 580 and almost across the street from Mills College. What put this rental over the top was the amazing garden that we spent a LOT of time in. The trees, the flowers, the succulents.....it all made us feel completely at home. Highly Recommend this one!

Beautiful garden

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It’s perfect for 2 people, and has its own entrance through a beautiful garden in the back yard. The space is downstairs in this house, so you will hear footsteps from above. But it was quiet after 9:00 pm. Easy access to major highways. No tv, but that didn’t bother us. We were in the area sight seeing, so we didn’t spend too much time at the condo. I would recommend staying here.

Good price and clean

Owners did a good job keeping the place private and away from the street. Back yard is nicely kept. Clean Place. Neighborhood is just o.k. at best. Would be nice to have an iron and TV.

Exactly as pictured.

This is a spotless, neat, and minimal space. -The queen size bed is very comfortable and restful. -The kitchen has what you need - except a good freezer. -The bathroom area is spare and has what is needed. The garden is delightful, and private. We hosted our son and grandson for lunch there and found the space joyful. Such loveliness and quiet. You would never know that there is a busy road not too far away. The owner, Marleen, is easily accessible and responds quickly should you need something. This is a space well-suited for a single person or maybe a young couple who will be out and about. My husband and I are in our mid-60's. My husband has a cognitive impairment and poor vision. I have talked with Marleen about our experience of the apartment as an older couple with a disability that we live with. The few steps we encountered both within the apartment and outside were challenging for my husband. We made adjustments as needed. Should you be in similar circumstance, I would suggest that you talk with the owner and see if changes have been made or what adjustments you would need to consider. After all, the pricing per night is really compelling.

Ideal for short stay

Marlene’s property is lovely. She is very good with any problems and fixed them straight away. The property is underneath the main house but it is very private. Backyard is also very nice and the bed is super comfy! Only downside is that you can hear everything coming from upstairs. We also placed a couple of frozen items in the freezer at the top of the fridge, however by the morning these had thoroughly defrosted, so wouldn’t recommend buying anything that needs to stay frozen! Bus stop right outside is very convenient and fairly inexpensive, however if taking the BART to San Francisco the price can easily creep up very quickly! We were grateful for the use of the washing machine and dryer for only $2 and all in all would definitely stay here again if in the area.
