Charming, welcoming, cozy, and in a great location!
Loved this spot for exploring Alameda - which itself is a great city - and the rest of the Bay Area. Impeccably clean, adorable, and peaceful. A perfect place to come home all week to after exploring the area.

this is a very nice property that is nicely furnished. Only problem is that if there are people on the first floor it can be quite loud.

Very lovely place!
Gorgeous place with a lovely yard. The couch had covers so we didn’t feel terrible about our dog’s dirty paws (although we did our best to wipe down her feet every time she came in from the yard). Has the basics cooking wise, and very cozy feel overall! Very clean!!!My only note for people is that if you’re a very light sleeper this place might not be for you. You can hear upstairs neighbors faintly talking and hear them moving around. Makes sense since it’s a lower level rental, but just be aware! Still a five star experience, we loved this place

Very small Backyard Appartment
The property is clean, has all that you need and is functional. When neighbors above are not careful, you hear a lot of noise when they walk and this was annoying. Especially when they do not sleep early. The last day we had noise until 2 AM. The host was responsive.

LOVED it!!
My friend and I stayed while visiting her son at Cal. The house is in a great location. Shops, restaurants are a short drive (or walk) away. It is also conveniently close to San Fransisco and Berkeley. The owner was VERY helpful and answered any questions we had quickly.
The house itself is beautifully decorated, super clean and the bed is beyond comfy! Huge shower, built in refrigerator, and lots of windows. The charming backyard has rocking chairs to sit and enjoy all the trees, flowers and plants.
If we go visit again, we will be back!!

Upstairs noise!
Although the property itself was very well appointed, there were guests staying upstairs with small children, so the constant racket over my head, dragging furniture etc. was unpleasant. I wish I had known.,. I would not have stayed here..

Beautifully equipped 1-bedroom apartment. Clean, high-end fixtures in quiet neighborhood w/ample parking. Great water pressure in the shower, comfortable bed. Sleeper couch was adequate. Ground coffee was provided; very much appreciated. The garden is a special treat; mature fruit trees, hydrangea plants, trumpet vines, and honeysuckle…just lovely.

Little Secret Place in lively Alameda, California
I would personally like to tell everyone that this is a very clean easy to get to rental(I need 10 minutes from the Oakland international airport) . It is so easy to get to some of those wonderful restaurants as well as a Shopping Center post office, and a lot of beautiful little coffee shops. The cottage is on the bottom level that overlooks orange trees, Bougainvillea‘s, jasmine and a variety of other plants that are so inviting along with two chairs. Everything you need is right there on a quick trip to the Shopping Center will help complete your trip , we are also very close to the ferry. The relaxing and inexpensive ferry can take you right into San Francisco or Sausalito depending on where you would like to venture. Thank you to the owner for accommodating me with my dates… When I visit Alameda again, I plan on staying here for a second visit!
