About this property
2 Bedrooms, Peaceful Neighborhood, Great Bay Area Location
I know it says directly above this that you will not be sharing the property with anyone else - you will have private bedroom(s) and a private bath - but the rest of the ground floor (kitchen and dining area) is shared with the owner (me). Please make sure that this property will meet your needs before booking. Full description below. Everything is exactly as described.
My daughter and I have our bedrooms upstairs so we are renting out the ground floor of the house (2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, plus the kitchen and dining areas) to our guest. So you will have exclusive use of 2 rooms and one bathroom. Understand that is is SHARED housing, you may not see us much but we will be using the same kitchen and dining area. You may use the laundry facilities as well (all laundry supplies provided for you).
Very child-friendly, fun back yard with play set and LARGE enclosed trampoline. 35 minutes from San Francisco, 1 mile from downtown Castro Valley and public transit (BART).
My house is your house during your stay, you can have as little or as much contact with us as you want. Street parking directly in front of the house is always available. This is not a busy / crowded neighborhood.
We have 5 indoor/outdoor cats, so if you are allergic to cats this is not the place for you! Katya (the official greeting committee) is pictured above on the front steps.
Please note in the pictures - what you see is what you get. The queen bed will comfortably accommodate 2 adults, the sofa / corner unit will work for 2 kids/teens. My house will NOT accommodate a party of three or four adults. The sleeping accommodations are not sufficient. While the sofa / corner unit is great for the younger crowd, it does not provide the actual back support a "real" bed would and is NOT recommended for older folks like me! (50+). I've tried it, trust me on this. My kid and her friends think it's great, but that's her age group.

About the host
Hosted by Stacy Spink

Grew up in Rhode Island, spent four years in the military (Navy) and decided to stay in California when I was discharged. I've been a stay-at-home work-at-home parent since my daughter was born. I do 1400 income tax returns a year, plus accounting and payrolls. I ride a bicycle whenever possible and avoid driving. I've been coaching my daughter's soccer team for 10 years and wow do we have FUN! She's also ridden 9 double centuries with me on our tandem bike, starting when she was 10 (her idea, not mine!).
Why they chose this property
A quiet, uncongested location with convenient access to San Francisco and the entire Bay Area. Lake Chabot Regional Park less than 3 miles away. Please be advised that certain local county ordinances regulate the length of tenants' stays.
What makes this property unique
Great backyard for kids. Large real-wood play set and Full-size rectangular trampoline (14' x 18') with safety-net enclosure is always popular!
