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.

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.
