This is a wonderful apartment/condo. We found it on short notice and couldn’t be happier with it. It comes fully stocked and super clean & comfortable. Only downside is it’s on the 3rd floor and no elevators so if you have mobility issues with stairs this would not be the place for you. It has a wonderful patio & patio furniture, unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there so it did not get utilized much.
This is a great place to stay. Convenient for trips to downtown and an outdoor space for relaxing. Generously supplied with tea coffee etc and furnished to a good standard.
This place was perfect for a family vacation in the San Francisco area. So clean, quiet, and well-kept. The most comfortable beds, great living area, and kitchen. Highly recommend!
This property fit our needs perfectly. Great safe location near to restaurants and easy access to Oakland, Berkeley, and SF. We had a minor issue with the front door but Monica was responsive and able to get it fixed quickly. Would definitely stay again.
My wife and I stayed in the apartment for one week. It is on the top floor of a house, with somewhat unusual shapes of the rooms because of that. But we thought that gave it a nice, somewhat special character. The location is also a plus (close to Park Street, with its many restaurants, also to the South Shore shopping center). Finally, the host was very good at communicating and at helping us (to re-start a furnace in the apartment). We can recommend the place, also for families with kids.
Visiting family and touring San Francisco Alameda and beach Al’s and adventure.3 flights to pent house was concern , front steps easy narrow and safe.Back entry were also safe and not difficult
This is a great place to stay. It had everything we needed. The best part is off street parking directly behind the house. No searching for street parking. Host checked in with us during the stay to make sure we didn't need anything. We will defiantly stay here again when we come back for work or vacation.
South Alameda family stay with 3 children.Walk-up apartment with full kitchen and lots of room.Open deck to enjoy the sun.Onsite assigned parking.Minutes from Oakland airport, 40 minutes from SFO.Hosts provide full & accurate information.Next to Park street restaurants. Less than 1 mile to South Shore grocery, shopping, restaurants, pharmacy and retail.Great place to stay when visiting Alameda / Oakland.
Very communicative host; ample parking; cozy property; lovely private deck; on-site laundry : )
Note: Parking is in the rear but the driveway access is at the front of the house!!
Easy commute into Oakland.
We would stay here again!
Our first time staying in Alameda to see family and friends in the Bay Area! This rental is a couple of flights up, but if you don’t mind stairs, it is a lovely, clean, and comfortable place—3 spacious bedrooms plus a large kitchen and living room. Convenient laundry in the basement and very close to shops and restaurants in charming Alameda! Would definitely stay here again!
The building is in a central part of Alameda - very easy to get all around the island, as well as to Oakland and SF from this location. Very clean, with comfortable beds and a nice kitchen with all the cooking equipment we needed. It was nice to have the deck to sit out and relax on. My adult son and I stayed here while in Alameda for my Granddaughter's baby shower. It was perfect for what we needed.
Lovely place with lots of character. Everyone in family, including teen daughter, enjoyed the place due to spaciousness. In a very nice, quiet neighborhood close to grocery store & restaurants. Designated off street parking. Would definitely return.
Our first VRBO experience was really fantastic! Everyone in our party commented on how thoughtfully every aspect of the VRBO was setup. It has everything you need in every room and has plenty of space for 6 people.
Great neighborhood with lots of old Victorians and friendly locals. Wonderful walks for exercise or errands. Local shops, restaurants and groceries (Trader Joe’s!) are within 10 minute walking distance. There are cute parks in the heart of the residential areas and the beach is only a 15-20 minute walk away.
Things to know that will help future renters and that will hopefully be added to the VRBO profile.
- Three flights of steep external stairs to get to the unit.
- There was only one designated parking space instead of the two spaces specified.
- There is a low roofed part of the building that juts out over the driveway just a bit. It’s a tight squeeze and untenable if you have a large or tall vehicle. Our Audi SUV and Denali fit just fine, but it was close!
Overall, we had a wonderful experience. So good in fact, I felt a bit conflicted writing the review, wanted to keep it all for ourselves.
Clean, comfortable, excellent neighborhood, beach less than a mile away, all amenities (shops, restaurants, etc) in east walking distance. Would certainly return here.
We are so happy with our stay in this apartment, it was more than we hoped for. Clean, charming and close to stores in South Shore and restaurants downtown. Check-in and checkout was extremely smooth, expect a message on the day of your arrival with information.
I would gladly come back to this place with my family in the future!
Our stay was amazing. We had the whole third floor of a Victorian house. Could have easily had six guests. Thank goodness for off-street parking too. The apartment had everything we needed and had very comfortable beds. It’s location made it the perfect base to ferry into San Fransisco or drive south to San Jose or Monterey. Plus we enjoyed just staying on the island. Lots of thing to do and places to eat. We would stay there again!!
We found the apartment roomy and comfortable for our stay in Alameda. It was quieter than I expected it to be, and it was easy for the kids to sleep in the bedroom and not be disturbed by the adults in the living room. The main thing to be aware of is that it is a climb up three flights of stairs, so if anyone in the group has mobility issues this would not be a good choice. The apartment was very clean.
Great neighborhood and well equipped home. My fiance and I had everything we needed to be comfortable at this home. Gordon and Monica are very accommodating
We enjoyed our stay. Apartment is very clean and in a good area. The owners are very pleasant people and very easy to communicate with. The only problem, I would not recommend it for older people as it is located on the 3rd floor and a little bit difficult to climb upstairs. Other than that I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.
