Summary: This was our second stay here and of course we wouldn't have returned if we didn’t like it - a lot! It's a cozy one bedroom apartment with everything you need. There is parking in the driveway but nearby street parking is also usually very easy to find. Two short blocks away is the Blue Dot Cafe & Coffee Bar. It's a terrific neighborhood coffee place with excellent in-house made pastries as well as egg dishes. It's open daily except Sunday and Monday. Alameda's primary main street business district, Park Street, is maybe eight blocks east. You can skip a lot of driving by using the AC Transit 51A line with frequent service to Oakland and Berkeley, and to San Francisco (O or OX lines) along Santa Clara Avenue. It's an easy 5 block walk or so from this vrbo to catch a bus. If you haven't been to Alameda or stayed at this vrbo I think you'll be very glad you did. It's a great base of operations for a Bay Area visit. One last tip. If you're headed to San Francisco consider using one of the three ferry lines that operate from Alameda to the Ferry Building in the city. One from the former naval air station, the other on the estuary (across from Oakland), and the other from Bay Farm Island (part of Alameda but connected by a bridge from Alameda proper. It's a beautiful (and fast) way to get over to San Francisco. The ferries are fast.

Summary: This is very special. As you stay a week, you realize how all the things you have at home are here, and good quality too. It's beautiful, the seats outside are idyllic, I've used it just to reflect even for 5 minutes. This is a wonderful home and a very beautiful home as well, beautiful bath. kitchen, table at window... So restful for your holiday.

Summary: Enjoyed our stay very much. We have stayed in Alameda many years visiting children and grand children in the Bay area. This was the best! Clean and spacious it was just a wonderful experience! Hope to go back next year!

Summary: This is the third time in 2023 that we stayed about a week in Alameda. All three of the stays were good, but we give this our highest rating. The property itself has a great location in the center of Alameda though closer to the east end (Park Street) than to the west end (Webster Street). The street where the rental is located is very quiet, but only a short distance from Encinal Avenue, and its small business district with a market (Encinal Market) and a great coffeehouse (Blue Dot) with homemade baked goods and simple breakfasts. From the vrbo it's about a one mile walk to Park Street with its excellent array of places to eat, drink and shop. South Shore Center is a major shopping center nearby, with all of the necessaries including a splashy Safeway, Trader Joe's, and much more. The lodging is cozy but more than adequate for two guests. It's nicely furnished with everything you will need. It's very quiet as is the street that it's on. It's not a limitation, but be aware that if you have an automobile (vs an SUV or truck) you will need to park on the street. The parking space is a steep ramp from the street to the garage. We tried, but our sedan scraped the sidewalk as it was partly on the street and its front end on the ramp. We didn't try further, and simply reversed back into the street and parked the car there. We never had an issue finding close-by street parking There aren't any day-of-the-week or time of day restrictions. You'll really like this vrbo!

Summary: We stayed at Betty's rental for 10 days over Thanksgiving while visiting family at Alameda. The location was convenient, safe and quiet. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean. Online pictures and information are accurate. Hopefully we can stay here again the next time we travel to Alameda. As other people have mentioned, the parking spot was great! Ken & Kathe

Summary: Wonder place to stay in a safe community in the Bay Area. Highly recommended.

Summary: We found the Garden Bungalow Apartment so charming. It was in a very peaceful neighborhood. It was super easy to get around the area from the apartment both by foot and by car. The apartment was clean and very well equipped. It had everything we needed, including things like q-tips, cotton pads and a sewing kit. Betty has thought of everything. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We met some fellow travelers who were staying next door to us and enjoyed morning conversations with them. There was coffee waiting to be brewed and delicious banana bread waiting for our arrival. We can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you, Betty.
