Great place for our work trip
This is a great place to stay. It had everything we needed. The best part is off street parking directly behind the house. No searching for street parking. Host checked in with us during the stay to make sure we didn't need anything. We will defiantly stay here again when we come back for work or vacation.

Great VRBO
Our first VRBO experience was really fantastic! Everyone in our party commented on how thoughtfully every aspect of the VRBO was setup. It has everything you need in every room and has plenty of space for 6 people. Great neighborhood with lots of old Victorians and friendly locals. Wonderful walks for exercise or errands. Local shops, restaurants and groceries (Trader Joe’s!) are within 10 minute walking distance. There are cute parks in the heart of the residential areas and the beach is only a 15-20 minute walk away. Things to know that will help future renters and that will hopefully be added to the VRBO profile. - Three flights of steep external stairs to get to the unit. - There was only one designated parking space instead of the two spaces specified. - There is a low roofed part of the building that juts out over the driveway just a bit. It’s a tight squeeze and untenable if you have a large or tall vehicle. Our Audi SUV and Denali fit just fine, but it was close! Overall, we had a wonderful experience. So good in fact, I felt a bit conflicted writing the review, wanted to keep it all for ourselves.

A great place for our stay!
The building is in a central part of Alameda - very easy to get all around the island, as well as to Oakland and SF from this location. Very clean, with comfortable beds and a nice kitchen with all the cooking equipment we needed. It was nice to have the deck to sit out and relax on. My adult son and I stayed here while in Alameda for my Granddaughter's baby shower. It was perfect for what we needed.

Perfect Vacation Location!
Our stay was amazing. We had the whole third floor of a Victorian house. Could have easily had six guests. Thank goodness for off-street parking too. The apartment had everything we needed and had very comfortable beds. It’s location made it the perfect base to ferry into San Fransisco or drive south to San Jose or Monterey. Plus we enjoyed just staying on the island. Lots of thing to do and places to eat. We would stay there again!!

Convenient and comfortable
We found the apartment roomy and comfortable for our stay in Alameda. It was quieter than I expected it to be, and it was easy for the kids to sleep in the bedroom and not be disturbed by the adults in the living room. The main thing to be aware of is that it is a climb up three flights of stairs, so if anyone in the group has mobility issues this would not be a good choice. The apartment was very clean.

Clean, Spacious, and a Great Location,
Our first time staying in Alameda to see family and friends in the Bay Area! This rental is a couple of flights up, but if you don’t mind stairs, it is a lovely, clean, and comfortable place—3 spacious bedrooms plus a large kitchen and living room. Convenient laundry in the basement and very close to shops and restaurants in charming Alameda! Would definitely stay here again!
