Wonderful Property

The property was clean and in a quiet relaxed neighborhood. Moreover, this location was centralized to many attractions so you need not drive to far to get to them given how traffic is in CA. Owners were very responsive and the check-in / check-out process was very smooth. Our party of 8 really enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect place

The house is beautiful, nicely decorated, spacious, quiet and comfortable. The location was perfect for all of the activities for my son’s wedding. Nice restaurants and good shopping very close by. We appreciated the amenities provided by Adi, who is a very responsive host. The perfect place for a perfect weekend.

Great space to visit East Bay family

My husband and I rented this house to visit family in the Bay Area. We came from Oregon, and my sister and her husband came from Louisiana and we came to see our adult daughter, her husband, and my nieces who live in the North Bay and East Bay. It was a very convenient location and comfortable home.

Perfect house for our family

The space was great for us. It was equipped with everything that we needed. We ran out of trash bags under the sink and within an hour, they were dropped off at our door. What a wonderful house, what a wonderful weekend with many family memories made!

Perfect for a big group

The property was just as described in the listing. The space was very clean and in a great location for all the things my group wanted to do during our trip. There a grocery stores, coffee spots and other stores nearby. The kitchen was fully stocked so you can buy groceries and cook. Getting to the freeway was easy and not too far from the property. We really enjoyed the back patio in the mornings, taking in the fresh crisp air and going for a walk around the neighborhood. I would recommend this property to anyone.

OWNER

Very nice home. TV In the main bedroom upstairs to the left- did not work. Please provide footies for future us, if you desire folks to take off their shoes. Otherwise GREAT stay!

Thank you for the review. The TV in the master bedroom is fully functional, you should have mentioned it during your stay. No shoes in the house are part of the house rules which are provided with check-in instructions. Usually, we do not provide footies. In the future, it would be better if you could voice your concerns or needs in real-time.

Corvettes

Most everything was very good. Would have been nice to have top sheets on the beds. We could not get the garbage disposal to work. Should have tvs in all the bedrooms.

Nice house and area

The house was very nice and located in an area which was convenient to where we wanted to go between Napa, Muir Woods and San Francisco without too much driving. There were plenty of stores and restaurants nearby to go to if e needed anything. We had a problem with the ac and the host was very responsive, but unfortunately it was not able to be fixed before we left. The house was properly stocked, clean, nicely decorated and pretty large for any one of the eight of us to have our own space, if need be. I would book this house again.
