My stay at Narvin’s property was lovely. The home is exactly as it is described on the listing. There are two prívale rooms with very comfortable beds and very clean linens. We didn’t use the third room which is considered the sunroom, as it opens to the balcony and it doesn’t have any privacy curtains. We liked keeping the balcony doors open while cooking to feel the breeze. The kitchen is every cooks dream. We got to bake two cakes and make some delicious meals. There were some items we needed to purchase (a hand mixer, olive oil and other kitchen staples) but Target is a super short drive away (as coffee shops and other stores). There isn’t a dedicated work space but I used the dinning table which was lovely as there is a lot of windows that open to fresh air and gorgeous landscaping throughout the property. Parking was easy, lots of open spaces on the street and the neighborhood is safe and welcoming. This home is walking distance to the beach as well! Narvin and his cleaning staff was attentive to all of our needs, including allowing us to bring our luggage in at 12 noon prior to check in. Although this space is on the pricier side — it is worth it! If you're looking to have some beautiful memories, this is the place!

This was a clean, well-appointed home in a nice neighborhood. It was convenient to San Francisco and a few minutes drive to downtown Alameda, where we enjoyed the cinema and surrounding shops and restaurants.

Overall this place was just what my family and I needed. It may have been an overlook on my end, but I was unaware until the day of check-in that I was sharing the location with other people (meaning there is an area downstairs that is accessible from the back that someone else rents). We never crossed paths so it wasn’t an issue, but there is a one car driveway, so it’s a first come first serve type deal. I am just thankful that I didn’t have a huge rental car because street parking is limited. Other than this, I truly loved the place. Nice quiet area, beautiful home, and phenomenal weather. The kitchen came equipped with wondered appliances for cooking and everything was in working condition. The host was very attentive! Any time I wrote him, he replied almost instantly.

Quaint garden area A few things Would of liked to have a curtain in back bedroom We didn’t know what items we could use in kitchen so a check list would of helped. We couldn’t find hair dryer

Our family had a wonderful stay in this great space and location. Very clean and well provisioned.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely upper flat of a Victorian home on Alameda Island. It is a very beautiful property, exactly as shown in the photos. Navin was helpful and prompt to respond to questions. This was a good location for us to serve as a home base for our family for activities in the Bay Area. (Our group staying at the property was me, my husband and our sons age 17 and 24. Our 20 year old son lives in the area and visited us.)

If you’re a city dweller and want a nice compromise between some place quiet but not too far of a drive from San Francisco or Oakland and Berkeley, I recommend this place. Looks just like the pictures. The bathrooms are still fresh in my memory,

What a beautiful home, well appointed and maintained. Everything i needed was included and high quality. I will definitely return to this property. Thanks for hosting me!
