Alameda rules

We have been to the Bay Area many times, but this is the first time we stayed in Alameda. The accommodations were perfect, as was the neighborhood. We had a very good stay at Margaret and Paul‘s. We recommended this property wholeheartedly.

Meticulously clean, perfectly located, cozy cottage

From the moment I checked in to the moment I left, I felt like I was in my home away from home. The home was meticulously clean, cozy, perfectly located, and had all of the necessities including toiletries and kitchen needs you could possibly need for a week-long stay. The only challenge was street parking.

Perfect spot for our New Year family visit

Very nice 1 BR in convenient Alameda location, with plenty of room for a couple. Everything was very clean and kitchen and bath had been recently updated. Communication with owner was easy and efficient. Even though the unit fronts onto a fairly busy street, it is very quiet inside.

The *ideal* VRBO property/host

When I travel to the Bay Area, this is where I stay. The unit is very clean and well cared for, with everything you need for a short- or long-duration stay. Excellent, friendly hosts and a great location (short walk to Santa Clara Ave and Park Street, 1.5 blocks to bus with easy access to the Fruitvale BART station). I am happy to be a return guest at this wonderful property.

Wonderful in EVERY Way

Perfect location! Easy access to the shops and restaurants and the ferry to San Francisco. Every amenity has been thoughtfully arranged…bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and laundry! Nothing has been left to chance. We have stayed in San Francisco and Sausalito many times in the past. This is a refreshing change! Loved the vibe, people and culture!

The home was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. The property is spotless and well equipped. The owner was a pleasure to work with and so helpful with checking in procedures and timing. Margaret’s recommendations were spot on and incredibly helpful. I took pictures of her recommendation page for our kids that just moved to Alameda. Thank you for opening your darling home.

Adorable Art Deco

Enjoyed our stay immensely! It was our first time to Alameda. The place was spotless and comfortable. There was definitely an Art Deco 1930s feel with the decor. A walk in shower was much appreciated as we’re seniors. Wood floors were stunning. The owners responded in minutes when we needed something. Anything you need is within walking distance-a couple blocks. The walks were easy and we enjoyed seeing the gardens and yards. It’s apparent the people of Alameda work hard and love their community. We ate at a number of restaurants and were never disappointed. If I ever return to Alameda I will definitely stay there.

Sunny Loveliness with Character

I initially chose this property for its AC - the only Alameda option available with AC, at the time. Lucky me! This gorgeous duplex was so beautiful with its bountiful house plants and art and the architecture itself. I particularly appreciated the natural light streaming in from all corners of both levels. And it was great having a dryer in the basement. (Washer too, but I only used the dryer.) There are 6-7 steps up to the bedroom, to be aware of. The location is wonderful for Alameda walking - just a few blocks from a large park and also Park Street. This is an exceptional property!

Such a cute Art Deco home! Loved the kitchen, round window, wood floors, etc. and the proximity to Park Street for restaurants, etc.! I used to live in the city and didn’t realize how cute Alameda is and it’s proximity to so many things - would definitely stay here again.

Easy to find, parking ample on side street, convenient location for access to town. Stay was comfortable with very little noise from Broadway, surprisingly. Kitchen, bath, and bedroom were very clean and well-appointed. Couldn’t get the coffee maker to work, but don’t care for Keurig coffee anyway due to the plastic.

Delightful spot for two

Super clean, well-laid out space that’s only a short walk to Park for food and shops. The kitchen and bath stand out as especially nice and functional.
