My husband and I were so glad to have chosen the Garden Apartment for our summer getaway. The apartment had all that we needed during our trip. Our next scheduled trip to No Cal will be in 2025, which we hope the apartment will be available to book. It's a great place to stay!

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.

Charming, cozy Victorian basement apartment - my only suggestion is additional shower storage - I have a lot of shower gear, so we had to McGyver it! Loved the convenient parking - not sure how you manage it, Marti, but there was always a space right out front - this is critical in this area.

We needed a place to stay close to our friends. The location was perfect in a quiet neighborhood with on-street parking not a problem. The place is full of antiques. The bed was comfortable. The shower a little small, but excellent water pressure. There's a full kitchen with probably all the cooking items you would need. We would stay there again.

Comfortable bed, comfortable living area, full kitchen with all the necessaries, very nice, new-looking step-in shower, beautiful garden to enjoy reading, and great neighborhood. Everything you could want is within a mile, yet it is a short drive to Oakland and San Francisco. Perfect place to stay to be close to our Alameda family. Thank you, Marti. It was wonderful to meet you. We expect to return.

We have really enjoyed everything about our stay (except that the shower is small). The unit is very comfortable, fully stocked -more than any other place we’ve stayed, Marti is lovely and very accessible. There’s a sweet garden at the back of this beautiful Victorian home. And the neighborhood is safe and so nice to walk around in. We love Alameda! When we come north, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I could keep going…

Pretty little apartment

Pretty little apartment

The location was great for traveling to different sights. The street/neighborhood was quite pretty. The apartment is furnished with antiques so it is not child friendly but it’s well outfitted for two adults. The bed was comfortable.
