Luxury this ain’t, but solid nonetheless

Well, there are a few things to mention straight off: no washer or dryer onsite (somehow I missed this on the listing, but assumed a home in the suburbs would have it); the tv remote didn’t work - we downloaded the Roku app and that worked, but it should be replaced; the deadbolt on the front door is glitchy; we had some ants in the kitchen; and there are not any full length mirrors. That being said, texting with Alma was quick and reliable. The beds were plentiful for such a small house. The hot water was hot and you don’t have to wait a while for it to warm up. There are fans in the rooms. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and easily accessible from the freeway, with good shopping nearby. Overall, it served our purposes, just didn’t exceed any expectations.

Rental for Japanese relatives to attend a memorial

House is clean and roomy for 5 relatives. Very convenient to my home and church where memorial service was held. Alma was so helpful answering questions before they arrived and during their stay — much appreciated. Weather was unusually hot and house isn’t insulated well so it was extremely hot inside till all windows were opened to let in night air. Curb appeal would benefit from pulling weeds, adding new plants, flowers, etc.

Convenient place to stay

This house was a wonderful place to stay - and the host was very helpful when we had to extend our stay, we're definitely keeping it on our list for future visits. Plenty of room for us and our kids, and it was very refreshing to stay in a rental that wasn't highly fragranced. Easy access to the main travel routes and nearby grocery stores.

Host thought of everything!!

This spacious home had so kuch kore than we expected! Extra blankets, towels, kitchen basics, tv/av hookups, even baby toys and a high chair! Really too much to list! The home is also on a quiet block, close to higheay, walking distance to restaurants, trader joes, coffee shops, hiking trails and more, and host was super accomodating and kind! 45 mins to Napa, just 15 to Berkeley-it was perfect for our trip!

Great neighborhood, plenty of bedrooms

The living room is rather small but there were plenty of bedrooms and the house is very comfortable. Check-in was easy and there are lots of places to walk to -- 99 Ranch down the street, Bart station two blocks away, restaurants nearby. Great place for a family.

I lost my Mom and was in town with friends for the Home-going celebration. The process was easy. The location was great. The property management was easy to communicate with. She was kind enough to allow an early check in. I would rent this property again.

To small for more than 4 people

House was smaller sq ft wise very crowded for the number of people they allow. Minimal kitchen things to really cook and serve food. Refrigerator froze most of our foods and liquids. First night go there late and had park two blocks away with a baby and our stuff because the drive way was occupied. Very disappointed at the misleading listing

Great House and Fantastic Location

This place is a gem! The house was clean, extremely well furnished, and walking distance to a nice brewery and loads of restaurants. It is the perfect place to easily access anywhere in the Bay Area. The neighborhood is quiet and offers plenty of street parking. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Alma!
