Great location for small family holiday in San Francisco

Beautiful home in Alameda, perfect size for our family of three (with 11 year old). It was a short Uber ride to the ferry which took us to San Francisco city each day. Very easy 15-20 minute ferry trip and we thought it better than getting bus, train or car from the house to the city. Alameda is a great area with plenty of dining options. Our host, Margaret, was very helpful and available to answer any of our questions.

Adorable Art Deco

Enjoyed our stay immensely! It was our first time to Alameda. The place was spotless and comfortable. There was definitely an Art Deco 1930s feel with the decor. A walk in shower was much appreciated as we’re seniors. Wood floors were stunning. The owners responded in minutes when we needed something. Anything you need is within walking distance-a couple blocks. The walks were easy and we enjoyed seeing the gardens and yards. It’s apparent the people of Alameda work hard and love their community. We ate at a number of restaurants and were never disappointed. If I ever return to Alameda I will definitely stay there.

The ideal VRBO property/host

When I travel to the Bay Area, this is where I stay. The unit is very clean and well cared for, with everything you need for a short- or long-duration stay. Excellent, friendly hosts and a great location (short walk to Santa Clara Ave and Park Street, 1.5 blocks to bus with easy access to the Fruitvale BART station). I am happy to be a return guest at this wonderful property.

Perfect!

The home was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. The property is spotless and well equipped. The owner was a pleasure to work with and so helpful with checking in procedures and timing. Margaret’s recommendations were spot on and incredibly helpful. I took pictures of her recommendation page for our kids that just moved to Alameda. Thank you for opening your darling home.
