Victorian Penthouse

GabrielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Nathan’s place was lovely and exactly as described - perhaps even better! The place was very clean, comfortable, and had thoughtful touches - extra blankets, pillows, workspaces, excellent character, without being cluttered. Ample closet and dresser storage for clothing, toiletries, etc. We felt right at home and there was more than enough space for our party of three. Bathrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. We would highly recommend Nathan’s place and would definitely stay again.

Pearl Wright Gallery Apartment

ClareRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We loved our stay at Steve's AirBnb. It had everything we needed and some. Having two bedrooms was a plus for us. When the snoring started, there was a bump-out room. Very clean. All needed items present for living easily. We walked to our conference each day through nice neighborhoods. We found it quite delightful, that when we wanted to cross a street without stop signs, people would stop for us in Alameda. Steve gave us good tips for lunch spots and he is super sweet. We highly recommend this place.

A welcoming entrance to the cottage features a glass-paned door surrounded by string lights. A light-colored chair sits nearby, while a doormat with the phrase 'yay you’re here!' is positioned on the paved walkway leading inside.

Cute, backyard Cottage w/ close access to all!

AlexRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Cozy, quiet atmosphere in a great location! The studio cottage is just the right size for one person, and probably no more than two. The little yard area is beautifully manicured and provides a tranquil setting when you walk in and out of the studio cottage. I instantly felt right at home. Alzira was kind enough to demonstrate how to lock the side gate behind me - and this after I knocked on her front door for help! (I'm not tech-savvy AT ALL, as I had to explain.) Alzira is not only friendly in person, but her text message communication was also extremely prompt and polite. I would stay here again and again.

A charming entrance to a private studio is framed by two large windows and a blue door. Potted plants, including roses and vibrant greenery, adorn the entryway, while a wooden bench offers a cozy seating area next to the entrance.
