The heart of the Bay Area

Welcome to "The Heart of The Bay Area", a cozy home centrally located between the tech capital of Silicon Valley (San Jose) and the popular multi cultural Golden City of San Francisco. Our home is in a safe and quiet uphill neighborhood of Hayward, and easily accessible to highway 580, 238, 880 and only 3 min. to the nearest shopping center for groceries, gas, etc. The Castro valley Bart station is a mile away, less than 20 min. to the Oakland International Airport & 35 min. to the SFO airport.

You'll be greeted with a long porch with beautiful brand new and comfortable cushioned swivel chairs and a hammock to relax on outdoor. An inviting modern boho style living room with an open concept to the formal dining room area awaits you and your guests. A small kitchen with high quality stainless steel appliances is ready use and fully equipped with dinnerware for a great meal, and if you're on the go please enjoy what's available on the complimentary coffee bar.
