5 Star Gorgeous Flat $199 Inc. Free Parking

IMPORTANT: I do not take more than a 5-day bookings.

This is a very charming, beautifully furnished, immaculate, and sunny two-story home with an upstairs Rental Flat and the owner's Flat downstairs. The home is located on a dead-end street at a lagoon, so there is a peaceful water view from upstairs. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. Parking in the driveway is reserved for one (1) guest's automobile. Visiting guests just drop off and pick up. The Flat is 1200 sq.ft and is quite spacious with beautiful hardwood flooring. There are two large bedrooms both with pillow-top queen mattresses. Can accommodate 4-5 guests with a 2-day minimum stay. The bathroom is also quite large. I do not take Long Term Bookings, 5 days maximum. Please note: Holidays and summer months will have an increased daily rental fee.. There is a $25 fee If the second bedroom is used for additional guests and an additional fee of $25 per person per night. The cleaning fee is $125. There is a twin mattress that can be used for an additional $25 for a 5th person or child. The white bedroom has a mini office/study off of a walk-in closet with a panoramic view of the lagoon. The dining room and living room are combined and adjacent to a newly renovated small kitchen that is fully equipped. It has a gas stove, microwave, and a new refrigerator (9-30-20), a gorgeous view of a huge whimsically landscaped backyard, and a small peek of the lagoon. Beautiful, original hardwood floors throughout. Plenty of closet space. The large bathroom has also been completely renovated with new slate flooring, bowl sink, brand new shower doors, The linen closet is also fully equipped! There is a separate water closet next to the bathroom with a new toilet. Gorgeous diamond pane windows with wood blinds throughout. Forced air heating and ceiling fans in most rooms.

What makes this Flat so desirable is the privacy you can have, if there is more than one guest. The two bedrooms allow that and also the small office area off the white bedroom for a quiet place to work as it has a door that closes. Everyone can have a place of privacy to read, take a nap, have a private telephone conversation, etc. There is a Firestick in the Living Room for many additional movie choices and a DVD on the side of the TV in the Livingroom, and a TV in 1 of the bedrooms. WiFi is provided. There are also two luggage racks in the walk-in closet. The backyard is available in the Gazebo for a quiet place to read, sit, and have coffee in the morning, afternoon wine, etc. No type of parties or cookouts is allowed due to adjacent neighbors.

A walk to the beach in the morning or evening to view the skyline of San Francisco and the evenings' gorgeous sunsets makes this island special. Take a short walk to a busy downtown shopping area where there are a variety of many types of cuisine on Park Street. Two ferry locations to take you across the Bay Bridge to the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Bus nearby to take you straight to Bart. Also a new Historic multiplex movie theater. There is quick, easy access to all major freeways, 20 minutes from UC Berkeley campus, and many excellent restaurants on College Ave and Telegraph Ave, and nearby Jack London Square on the Bay, also within a short distance from Alameda to Oakland or Berkeley. Fun to take a stroll on Park Street with consignment stores, antiques, lots of small unique stores, Thrift Store shopping at Salvation Army or Goodwill, Oakland Museum nearby with great exhibits. Free the first Sunday of the month. We also have a new library that is truly an asset to Alameda. In Jack London Square there is a Farmer's Market on the weekends, also a Premier Jazz Club Yoshi's is located in Jack London Square and many others close by venues for live music and dance lounges. Also, many upscale restaurants there and only 10 minutes away by car. So much to do in this area that is near

Great location, Great host!
Maria was very accommodating and got back to us promptly. There was room enough for the 4 of us to have our own space if when we wanted it. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. Good access to Oakland, Berkley and San Francisco. We would return to stay at Maria's place if in the area again.

Great Place in SF Area
This is a great property in a wonderful neighborhood. Maria, the host, was excellent and helped us out as needed throughout. We loved Alameda. The property was very convenient to great restaurants and coffee shops. It was also a great base for exploring San Francisco and nearby colleges.

Relaxing Stay in the East Bay
We chose this historic property over the overpriced area hotels and we’re glad we did. Maria is an attentive but non intrusive hostess. She met us and provided a brief instructions and tour. The unit was well stocked, bright and comfortable and the location ideal, a short walk to most Alameda dining and shopping yer quiet and pleasant. As a historic house there’s creaks and clunk’s occasionally but that’s part of the charm.

Nice introduction of California living
Gorgeous historical type home. Great host. Great location. Nice introduction of California living. I was suprised there were no A/C system instaled. But one does not need A/C most of the time in the bay area (one night we could of used a/c ) but heat vawe was 110 in land when we took napa tours away from bay area. other in my group rented brand new home it also was not bult with A/C close to shoping at trader joes and other restaurants. Host Maria took the time to chat with my mom, but rearly seen other time of the 9 days we were there.
