About this property
Comfortable, convenient 2BR 2BA apt in Alameda
Our apartment is within 2 blocks of downtown Alameda with over 50 shops, trendy restaurants, and coffee/tea shops nearby. Unit is recently renovated with bamboo floors, a beautiful kitchen, dining area, outdoor patio, and beds complete with high thread count sheets and a Eurotop mattress in the master. Amenities include complimentary use of laundry and game room with a pool table and classic arcade console. Our place is great for couples, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.
This 2nd floor unit is 1200 square feet and will comfortably fit up to 4 guests. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Two additional single person bedrooms, each with one twin bed, can be booked at an additional nightly rate (please check with hosts on rate and availability). If the additional bedrooms are not booked, they will be closed off. There is a family room with a dining table for 4, a granite bar area with stools for 4, a euro lounger, large LCD TV with Satellite and premium and sport channels for the enjoyment of our guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker with starter supplies, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, range and oven as well as pots and pans and essential kitchen utensils. The unit is stocked with enough place settings and flatware for 8 people.
The bathrooms are supplied with a set of towels for each guest and complimentary shampoo and conditioner, body wash, hand soap as well as toilet paper are provided.
The beds are made up with fresh linens and extra blankets are available for each bed. The queen has a Eurotop mattress and is complete with high thread count sheets.
We constantly upgrade the unit for the comfort of our guests and recently installed air conditioning units in all the bedrooms and the family room.
Although we love animals, we unfortunately, are very allergic to dogs and cats and other types of service animals and humbly ask that you consider other rentals if you have a service animal.

About the host
Hosted by Stanley & Virginia Siu
We welcome you to Alameda and hope to host you. Although we are new to VRBO, we've been hosting since 2016, and to date, we have hosted over 500 groups, and if you see us on another site, you'll see that we have been Super Hosts continuously since we first started in 2016. Many of our guests stay for business, for vacation, while visiting family in the area, or are locals needing a place to stay while renovating their homes. We have 4 units of various sizes and configurations to meet different needs. We love to travel and understand what you as a traveler need and try to make your stay care free by providing clean accommodations and the little things that you need, but might forget to bring or might not want to buy (who wants to bring or buy one laundry pod?!). When not hosting, Stanley continues to develop IP for his high tech startup, Virginia cares for family and elderly parents, and we both continue to volunteer in our local religious charity.
Why they chose this property
As continuous Super Hosts since 2016 and having hosted over 500 groups to date, we have units that range from 1 bedroom to 4 bedrooms. The smallest 1 bedroom unit is great for the solo or double business traveler and is more comfortable than similarly priced hotel rooms. The 4 bedroom unit is economical for larger groups being more cost effective than renting multiple rooms at a hotel. And we have two 2 bedroom units for the in-betweeners. As all the units include a kitchen, our units are more cost effective and more comfortable than comparably configured residence type inns. We converted our large garage into a game room and equipped it with a pool table, ping pong table, and classic arcade console for your relaxation and enjoyment. We have a laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. The game room and laundry room both are complimentary for our guests. Although we may not have many reviews yet, you can find us elsewhere and see the many positive reviews we have gotten so far.
What makes this property unique
Besides comfortable and care free accommodations, we are just a few blocks away from downtown Alameda where there are many shops, coffee and boba drink shops, and restaurants serving many different yummy cuisines. The nearby historic Alameda Theater continues to show top rated movies while also serving food in their luxury loungers for those wanting dinner and a show! We are about 15 minutes away from the Oakland Colisseum (Go A's) and Oracle Arena (former home of the Warriors) and about 30 minutes away Chase Center (current home of the world champion Golden State Warriors).
