Nice place to stay in between moving

This property was very comfortable - we weren't in need of anything when we stayed here for a month between leases even though most of our own belongings were packed up in storage. Especially enjoyed the deck and being able to spend time outdoors rain or shine.

Montdclair pad

I found the place comfortable with all the facilities I needed. The weather was cool so I didn't use the patio as much as hoped but on the warm days it was very nice.

Great place!

The deck has fabulous views of the hills and is a great spot for morning coffee, afternoon drinks, or an evening meal. The house is well equipped, located near shopping in Montclair, close to highways, and very near wonderful hiking in the East Bay park system. Elaine is the perfect host, very attentive and responsive. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very well appointed. We couldn't have asked for better
