this is a very nice property that is nicely furnished. Only problem is that if there are people on the first floor it can be quite loud.

Loved the downstairs setup. Everything was clean, neat and convenient. Loved having the laundry available to us.
Would like to try upstairs next year when we bring our daughter out with us.

Gorgeous place with a lovely yard. The couch had covers so we didn’t feel terrible about our dog’s dirty paws (although we did our best to wipe down her feet every time she came in from the yard). Has the basics cooking wise, and very cozy feel overall! Very clean!!!My only note for people is that if you’re a very light sleeper this place might not be for you. You can hear upstairs neighbors faintly talking and hear them moving around. Makes sense since it’s a lower level rental, but just be aware! Still a five star experience, we loved this place

The property is clean, has all that you need and is functional. When neighbors above are not careful, you hear a lot of noise when they walk and this was annoying. Especially when they do not sleep early. The last day we had noise until 2 AM. The host was responsive.

Wonderful property in a great town of Alameda. First time in the Bay Area and this was a great spot to find ourselves. Easy access to San Francisco and plenty to walk around to see locally on the island. Navin was great and provided quick responses to a few questions we had. Overall a lovely stay. Thanks Navin!

Beautifully restored and has details you’ll want in your house.
Sparkling clean, private, and all 5 star reviews are spot on. You won’t be disappointed. Navin is an excellent host, he is available for questions/requests but gives you plenty of space and privacy.

Beautifully equipped 1-bedroom apartment. Clean, high-end fixtures in quiet neighborhood w/ample parking. Great water pressure in the shower, comfortable bed. Sleeper couch was adequate. Ground coffee was provided; very much appreciated. The garden is a special treat; mature fruit trees, hydrangea plants, trumpet vines, and honeysuckle…just lovely.

My friend and I stayed while visiting her son at Cal. The house is in a great location. Shops, restaurants are a short drive (or walk) away. It is also conveniently close to San Fransisco and Berkeley. The owner was VERY helpful and answered any questions we had quickly.
The house itself is beautifully decorated, super clean and the bed is beyond comfy! Huge shower, built in refrigerator, and lots of windows. The charming backyard has rocking chairs to sit and enjoy all the trees, flowers and plants.
If we go visit again, we will be back!!
