As my family made a round trip loop around the United States, this stay was our second in a month after being elated with our first stay.
As I mentioned previously, we are avid travelers, and have stayed at hundreds upon hundreds of rental properties over our years. When I recommend this property I do so from the perspective of someone whom is fairly good at comparing properties.
Coming back to the property for our second time at very end of our lengthy trip I was surprised how BIG the house is. “Bungalow” gives the impression that it is very small and it quite large. The king sized bed that is fantastic from the mattress to the linens, huge driveway that allowed room for our suv and Uhaul trailer, bathrobes/slippers, local chocolates again, snack basket, water and even a bottle of wine is something I could now see they do consistently for each of their guests. This time they had even added more games and books to the large amount in the home on our first visit. I spent our second week there in Vallejo with my three children and without my husband who returned to our home state to work for a week. The neighborhood is safe, traffic was always amazing in the area, and from this house we went all over San Francisco via the El Cerrito Norte BART, or the ferry which is walking distance from the home. El Cerrito has an AMAZING affordable indoor sports complex that is open to the public 2 minutes from the house with indoor basketball courts (6), indoor soccer fields, volleyball courts, batting cages, pool tables, ping pong etc etc. Additionally every shopping need we had from Target to Trader Joe’s and pharmacies were blocks from the house. The touristy favorite attractions we enjoyed most as a family was the Escape from Alcatraz boat tour, Madame Tussauds Dungeon tour (really really historically good and the kids loved it), and the California Academy of Sciences (planetarium, HUGE five story rainforest, butterfly exhibit, natural science museum area, mineral exhibit, an AMAZING multiple story aquarium. All of these were in the goCitypass card. Lefty’s Ballpark Buffett next to Madame Tussaud’s is amazing..you feel like you in Vegas, and they are so generous there.. charged me lunch prices instead of dinner and only for two kids rather than three. Mountain Mikes Pizza lunch buffet.. (all over the Bay and San Francisco was also great.
