Excellent place for Oakland/Hayward/Castro Valley
Excellent space - living room, dining room, gorgeous kitchen, comfortable beds, and a pool! And hot tub! Extremely quiet neighborhood at end of dead end street. Felt safe, nice neighbors. Had good access to freeway system and a nice Safeway, coffee shop, light dining very close. Would stay here over and over if going into this area!!
