    This property was very comfortable - we weren't in need of anything when we stayed here for a month between leases even though most of our own belongings were packed up in storage. Especially enjoyed the deck and being able to spend time outdoors rain or shine.

    I found the place comfortable with all the facilities I needed. The weather was cool so I didn't use the patio as much as hoped but on the warm days it was very nice.

    The deck has fabulous views of the hills and is a great spot for morning coffee, afternoon drinks, or an evening meal. The house is well equipped, located near shopping in Montclair, close to highways, and very near wonderful hiking in the East Bay park system. Elaine is the perfect host, very attentive and responsive. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very well appointed. We couldn't have asked for better

    Eliane has a beautiful, clean, and quiet place with a fantastic view and a cozy gas fireplace for cold nights. Everything you need is outlined and very organized, with great details like bathrobes and slippers available for your use. Elaine seems to have thought of everything! My partner and I stayed for a few weeks. It is a great place to land.

    This was a much needed cool respite for me. Immaculate, lovely, quiet and safe with everything anyone could possibly ever need. Easily one of the most perfect vrbo homes I have ever rented. Elaine is a kind and available host, who has created a convenient and lovely space surrounded by greenery in the pretty Oakland hills. Close to everything the bay area has to offer, without the bustle of city life. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

    The house was pretty much everything that I was looking for my family. Elle is a nice host and explains everything thoroughly. At the price I got, the house is a good fit. Nice and quiet location, but still close to SF, San Jose and other nearby places through the highway or small roads over the mountain. Kitchen is packed with everything you generally need and we would not expect much more. Recently remodeled, so everything is nice and new in the bathroom. Not sure about the light timers, but probably people forget to turn off sometimes. Washer and dryer eventually needs updating - they work - but little bit hassle sometimes. However we were able to get our laundry done and that’s it. Nice patio to enjoy quiet evenings. Thank you.

    My husband and I stayed in this charming apartment for three months while our new home in Walnut Creek was being renovated. It was a great find and, actually, we hated to leave. The apartment is very comfortable and well appointed. A recently completed renovation focused on sound proofing between floors and it was successful. The space is private and secluded yet has easy access to the local Montclair shops, downtown Oakland, Berkeley and Contra Costa County. The deck is an added bonus and expands the living space. Many an hour was spent taking advantage of the wide ranging literary collection available in the apartment. Also it provides a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine, the gardens and hilltop views. The owner is very respectful of space and privacy and quick to resolve any issue that might arise. I would recommend this apartment in a heart beat. It is a truly lovely space.
