This property was exactly as advertised, clean and charming. We traveled with our two small children and it was so comfortable in this space. There was plenty of room for everyone and two full bathrooms was a game changer. Not to mention it is completely sun drenched and a very quiet neighborhood, close to freeways and lots of parks and playgrounds within walking distance.

A little bit of paradise!

A well appointed, lovely home - just right for a family get together. We enjoyed the patio and barbecue. The flat was clean and quiet - everyone rested well. And very convenient to drive to Telegraph for gourmet food, or catch the freeway to travel to other Bay Area cities.

We had 3 adults and we all loved your apartment! It fit our needs perfectly. We had very hot weather and were on the top floor so it was pretty warm but there were plenty of fans to cool the place down. Plenty of kitchen appliances for cooking.
