Great location!

We were in Alameda to visit old friends in the east bay. The location was perfect, in a great neighborhood in the Gold Coast district with lots of Victorian homes. The apartment was very quiet and private. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. It has a beautiful garden where we would often sit outside and have coffee and eat breakfast. Definitely a great find.

Great Little Apartment in an Awesome Neighborhood.

This tastefully decorated apartment was perfect for my onsite week work trip. I love Alameda, but this area is particularly nice. Plenty of friendly people walking and riding bikes around, and it just happens to be within walking distance of my favorite TikiBar. Marti made sure I was well-ac o.odated and the check in/out process was nice and simple. I definitely hope to stay here again.

Beautiful place but absolutely pet occupied

Although a beautiful quaint property, my friend is allergic to animals and right away had problems breathing. Even myself as a pet owner could smell a "pet" odor. This was not disclosed in the rental agreement. If this had been we wouldnt have wasted our time or 600.00.
