cozy and well appointed with thoughtful amenitiesloved the large windows to look out to her beautiful yard and for natural lighting in the roomthe bathroom necessities like the soap shampoo and conditioner were a very nice touchthe apartment is so quaint and cute having all of the amenities provided is also greatbed is a full sized mattress fyi for couples with large/tall partners
23. Charming studio with deck
A sunny and charming studio in a well-established, friendly neighbourhood close to the best East Bay for hiking and all major freeways, enjoy a fully-stocked kitchen, full bathroom with tub, wi-fi, and flat-screen TV (Netflix and HBO included). Get some fresh air and splendid hill views from the deck out front, and a hot mug of chocolate and some slightly toasted bread in tow are what we strongly recommend! As the studio is located below the living room of the lovely hosts, do expect to hear some foot traffic from above. The house was built in 1924 so creaking and vibrations are unavoidable. However, the rest of the neighbourhood is really quiet and peaceful, which is great if you are looking for an intimate stay.
