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.
Was great and will do it again??
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.
This was our 4th stay at this home. It consistently fills our needs. It is close by to where we want to be and we are comfortable here. The beautiful gardens are an added bonus.
Great central location and cute comfortable space.
Very nice and would highly recommend it. The house was exceptionally great in every aspect and the neighborhood was lovely with easily accessible.
Stayed here for 3 nights. Property is clean and nicely decorated. If you are visiting Alameda (or the East Bay) and need a nice homebase for 2 adults this place is worth checking out. Communication was clear and responsive. I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip to Alameda.
This stay was as good as it gets for a VRBO rental. The house was *immaculate* in terms of cleanliness, and this may be my first VRBO trip where absolutely everything in the property was EIWO (everything in working order). It was a pleasure to work with the owner, and I look forward to coming back!
Fantastic apartment within walking distance of Park Street restaurants. We had a lovely getaway in this immaculate art deco apartment and returned relaxed and refreshed. We will definitely be back.
Spent this year’s annual girls weekend with two of my good friends in Alameda. This cute house is the perfect location to walk to local restaurants, and is an easy drive to Alameda Point and for a day in San Francisco.
We just returned from our stay and Margaret's home in Alameda. Beautifully appointed with all of the comforts of home. We stayed when there was unseasonably warmer weather, and the central AC worked very well to cool the home. The king sized bed was soft which we enjoyed, but those who prefer a firm mattress may not be as happy. Self check in and out was perfect, street parking a breeze and a quiet location we would highly recommend. Thank you Margaret!
Everything was perfect starting with Margaret, the owner. Beautiful house with all the amenities.
This home is one of the nicest rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. Everything was top quality, from the kitchen appliances and cookware to the towels and bed linens. The king bed was very comfortable as was the sofa-bed as reported by our 12 year old grandson. We never had a problem finding a place to park on the street, and it was only a 7 minute walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. It was about 30 mins over the Bay Bridge to San Francisco, depending on traffic, and Margaret had given us a heads up about getting the Fastrak for the tolls which made the trips go smoothly. Margaret was excellent at communicating whenever we had a question and let us know when the WiFi was being repaired, which didn’t take long. We would most definitely stay at this rental again if we're in the Bay area. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet and a nice respite at the end of a day of sightseeing.
We could have checked in a little early because owner messaged us that the unit was ready. Upon arrival, we found the space was even nicer than described. The high quality interior seemed brand new, and everything was so comfortable and handy. I can’t name anything that could have been better. Bed, bedding, shower etc were first-rate. Appears smallish on the outside, but the interior was very roomy. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and spotting fairy gardens and Little Free Libraries. Plenty of coffee shops nearby for my needs. We also went to Ole’s for breakfast twice in four days. We will be back.
We enjoyed our five nights here very much. The little house is immaculately clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and had everything we needed and more. It was an easy walk to Park St. and good restaurants. If you're an Oakland Athletics fan, it's very convenient to the Colisuem. Very nice stay.
It was very easy to rent. Communication was excellent. The owner texted us shortly after moving in to make sure we had everything we needed. She had prepared a nice binder with all kinds of information. Wonderful rental!
Great location, clean place, well stocked. It had everything we needed and was comfortable and bright. Really enjoyed our stay.
We had an absolutely lovely time. The property is beautiful and so close to everything on Park Street. We will definitely be coming back for another getaway as soon as we can.
