This is a modest property but a great value for staying in the Bay Area, very close to the ferry ferry, San Francisco, and walking distance to grocery stores and decent restaurants as well as the Pacific Pinball Museum. Comfortable bed, plentiful towels, adequate kitchen, great shower. Our host was kind and responsive. We appreciated the plentiful hanging space and hangers.
It's always a pleasure to stay at Boxwood Cottage. The location is quiet, parking is easily available, and the neighborhood is safe and pleasant. In addition, Marti is a kind and attentive host.
The host was very friendly and accommodating helping us to connect to WiFi and to do laundry. The bed was comfortable and the shower was strong, but a bit tight. Great for a couple or single.
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a great place to come home too at the end of the day. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything was supplied in the kitchen and also in the bathroom so there was nothing we needed to get. We will come back there again when we come back to Alameda.
The apartment was very clean and very comfortable. Great value! We stay here whenever we visit our son and his family in Oakland. Alameda is lovely and has quite a range of excellent restaurants and shops. We love this apartment and the location!
Marti is the perfect host. We very much enjoyed our stay in her garden apartment. The apartment is charming, clean and well equipped. The location is in a beautiful Alameda neighborhood with parks, beach and entertainment within walking distance. We will definitely be staying here again!
Beautiful accommodation with everything you need. Ideal for two people, gorgeous rear outdoor space though we didn’t have time to enjoy it. Plenty of street parking. Marty the owner who lives upstairs is a wonderful host, brought us extra toiletries. Very clean in a lovely neighborhood.
The place was ADORABLE!!!! It’s like something you would read about in a story. All of the furniture and decor were cultivated to make you feel cozy, peaceful, and happy. The neighborhood is lovely, quiet, beautiful, and safe. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and dining ware. The water pressure is superb. The only thing, I would say is if you’re taller than 6’3”, the ceilings are low and my husband just felt too tall. I would definitely book again if we are in town again.
This is a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood where my wife and I have stayed several times. It's within walking distance of the beach, parks, and restaurants. The host is very responsive and helpful. There is always street parking either right in front of the unit, or within a block. We're already looking forward to another visit.

Wonderful stay! The place is super clean and very well appointed. I would stay here again! There were so many thoughtful touches, and the location was amazing - and there were no issues parking right out front. Great neighborhood and wonderful host. When we travel back, we would pick this place first.
All was charming. One glitch. Incorrect information was provided for access to wifi. It took about an hour to get in touch with the host. The host was very responsive to solving the issue. We were frustrated but the response made everything fine. She fixed it immediately on vrbo.Coffee/breakfast spot a block away. Five minute walk. Opens at 7:30 am.Lovely neighborhood.
Loved my stay at this adorable Victorian. Clean, comfy and secure. Great location in the Gold Coast area on Alameda. Loved Marti, the proprietor. Thanks for such a fun stay.

Hi Martha,
Thank you for your nice review! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay!
All the best,
Marti
Marty is a wonderful hostess. My plane was delayed so my daughter got the key from Marty who showed her around. I had trouble with the internet and spoke with Marty about it. She fixed it.The lock and key were glitchy, but Marty said that she plans on fixing it. The only problem came from some of the neighbors. My daughter dropped me off and picked me up. We never took more than five minutes and usually less than two minutes. The neighbors kept telling my daughter to move her car.
