Most downtown apartments don't come with outdoor space, but this one does. The building has a shared courtyard with a BBQ grill, fire pit, and patio seating, so you can grill dinner and eat outside on warm evenings. Inside, the apartment is thoughtfully set up with a king bed, a remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated workspace with 400+ Mbps WiFi.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, utensils, and basics. There's a Roku Smart TV in the living room for streaming. Shared laundry is on-site, and one assigned outdoor parking space is included. Keypad entry makes check-in flexible, and the space is professionally cleaned before every arrival.

Location is the real draw. You're within walking distance of Broadway Plaza (one of the East Bay's best outdoor shopping centers), dozens of restaurants, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the Iron Horse Trail. BART is nearby for getting into San Francisco without the bridge toll, and Mt. Diablo State Park offers serious hiking about 20 minutes by car. Napa and Sonoma wine country are both under an hour.

A comfortable choice for stays where you want a real home base with a bit of outdoor living.

A few things to know: this apartment is on the second floor of a two-story building with one flight of stairs (no elevator). The building is a mid-century property, so you may hear some ambient sound from neighboring units or outside.
