Wonderful location. Owner provided timely response to all questions and provided great detail on check-in and check-out process. Very comfortable stay. Would definitely use again on next visit!
Owner was very responsive and helpful. The house was in a nice quiet, charming neighborhood. The purpose of our trip was to visit the baseball parks. Both were very easy to get to by Ferry or Uber.
Beautiful home! It was clean and everything was organized! Great selection of coffee and snacks. We enjoyed the porch area as well while we had our morning coffee. Christine it was so nice meeting you and thanks again for an awesome stay!
Quiet, clean (pristine), great sleep and loved the location... easy to get in and out of city. Laundry hours are restricted, but that was ok, as I was only there 3 nights.
My daughter and I were in town to visit family. Christine was very responsive and made every effort to ensure we were comfortable. The house was beautiful and in a very quiet neighborhood. Parking was adequate and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely consider staying here again if needed.

If you're in need of a place in Alameda, then you can't go wrong here. Wonderful home in a peaceful and convenient neighborhood. The house is beautiful and well-equipped. The host is responsive .
Came with my husband and kids to visit my family in Alameda. We were blown away with how wonderful this house is. There was wisteria blooming in the garden, a great porch to sit on, a very comfortable living room and plenty of space for a family of four with teenage kids. The house was immaculate and the decor was vintage and both fun and tasteful. We will definitely be coming back for future visits!
Great directions from host. 1 mile from freeway. Kitchen is world class, (although we did not cook). Great coffee and tea selections (kurig). Wonderful porch to enjoy coffee. The neighborhood is quaint with great
We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. The house was cozy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The rooms were spacious, and the area was quiet and safe. We tried several restaurants recommended by the host, and they were all excellent. We would love to stay here again when we are in town.
