A lovely apartment in a beautiful neighborhood
This was a lovely stay in a beautiful neighborhood of Alameda. The apartment was easy to access, clean and cozy. It felt like a mini vacation getaway even though I was there for work. And Marti was a lovely host.

Delightful Stay in Alameda
This was a delightful place to stay in Alameda. It is comfortable, charming and fully equipped. It is within walking distance of parks and shops, and it's an easy drive from Oakland. The host is attentive and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

Alameda a great Island city.
The property was super cute, decorated in antique/vintage/asian decor. Bright and sunny during day. Quiet neighborhood. Beware of lower ceilings. TV operation a little funky to begin with but seemed to clear up. Would have been nice to know where washer/dryer were located since they are not in unit and couldn’t get a hold of host. Ended up at laundromat. Other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
