Very communicative host; ample parking; cozy property; lovely private deck; on-site laundry : )
Note: Parking is in the rear but the driveway access is at the front of the house!!
Easy commute into Oakland.
We would stay here again!

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.

This is a great place to stay. Convenient for trips to downtown and an outdoor space for relaxing. Generously supplied with tea coffee etc and furnished to a good standard.

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.

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.

We are so happy with our stay in this apartment, it was more than we hoped for. Clean, charming and close to stores in South Shore and restaurants downtown. Check-in and checkout was extremely smooth, expect a message on the day of your arrival with information.
I would gladly come back to this place with my family in the future!

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!!

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.

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!

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment is very clean and in a good area. The owners are very pleasant people and very easy to communicate with. The only problem, I would not recommend it for older people as it is located on the 3rd floor and a little bit difficult to climb upstairs. Other than that I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

Charming House & Neighborhood!
Great place and great location! Be sure to check out the hinges on some of the doors. The only thing that might concern some is that there are fairly steep stairs up and down. We didn't mind because we needed to burn off some calories after enjoying great food from one of the many restaurants just a block or two away. This is a very walkable neighborhood, quite charming and close to shopping, the beach, and the ferry to San Francisco. It's also less than an hour by car to Muir Woods. We enjoyed our stay very much. The place is well decorated and comfortable.

Great accommodations, plenty of room, very responsive owner and good location
We stayed for 6 nights in late December. The accomodations were spacious, very nice large living room with a fabulous cast iron faux wood stove and well stocked very usable large eat-in kitchen. The bedrooms were very large...just like home and the beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately it was too cold to use the deck but that is a nice feature. Monica was very responsive and quickly provided a kitchen tool we needed. Walking distance to Safeway and Trader Joes and the main shopping area on Park. It had the charm of a Victorian among other Victorians, and the renovation was respectful of that.

Clean and great neighborhood.
Across the "pond" from San Francisco. 10 to 15 uber ride to anywhere. Only downfall is it is not in walking distance of the BART. But, I don't think it is needed after staying here. I would stay here again if I traveled to San Francisco or Oakland.
4.8
Everything was clean and in great condition.
We loved staying in Monica and Gordon’s Victorian apartment. It was well appointed and had everything we needed. The house was two blocks to the beach and one block from the downtown. The apartment easily accommodated our family of 6. We really enjoyed our stay in Alameda and would definitely stay at this apartment again!

Lots of space and comfortable!
The rental was very roomy for my family of 5. Super clean and well furnished, and the owner is very responsive! Very safe neighborhood and parking in back fit our large SUV. We could walk to the restaurants and coffee shops. We mostly did touristy things in San Francisco, and Ferry was a bonus and super convenient. If we come back, we want to stay here again!
