This was the most affordable trip with proximity to a pool and the beach that we’ve had in a long time! The location was perfect and the space met all of our needs.

We loved staying at the ZenDen with our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). The sound machine in the kids room was clutch, the basketball hoop and pool area were great and the quick access to downtown Alameda was perfect for us. Quiet and safe neighborhood and a very friendly and accommodating host!

Coastal Zen indeed!! Had a really nice stay on a very rainy 4 day business trip. Robert was an outstanding host and quite welcoming during our chat. Too cold for the pool but did shoot some hoops..(balls need some air , don't wanna break that backboard) Had everything we needed ...looking forward to returning with family for that pool!!

Clean, comfortable, convenient!

Loved our stay. The apartment is spotless! Bedrooms are extremely cozy; comfortable beds, soft sheets, plenty of pillows, blackout curtains, and even white noise machines available! Will definitely recommend to others, and reserve again in the future if we return to Alameda. (Also a wonderful place to visit, highly recommend!)

Very comfortable stay in Alameda

This is a very clean and comfortable two bedroom, three bed place near Webster. Robert was so prompt in replying to any questions and had clearly thought of little things that just make life easier when on the road. Loved the beds. One of my sons preferred to sleep on the couch in the TV room as he wanted his own space. It was not as quiet as the bedrooms (he could hear the dogs upstairs.) But my other son and I slept peacefully.

Good stay

The accommodation was as advertised, the host very welcoming and available. The beds incredibly comfortable, the accommodation was very equipped !! The only downside is that we did not necessarily feel comfortable enjoying the pool with the people and workers coming, but it was for a good cause.

Lovely stay at the Zen Den

My family, including an 11 and 13 year old, had a great stay at the property. We all felt very “Zen” immediately once entering. It was a great location, comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Love the decor and really comfortable vibe of the place. Would definitely come again! Thanks.

Nice area and clean place!

This property was very clean and they provided enough supplies like toiletries, laundry/dish soap, etc. All the new items were very nice. The extra bonus of having sound machines was great since I sleep with one. Although it didn't block out some of the upstairs walking of residents and dogs. A suggestion is to be mindful of the early hours to walk more quietly. Also just double check coffee filter (old one in there from last guest) and the expiration of condiments. Overall very nice area and stay, we always had parking right outside of the house. Thank you

Stay at Alameda Zen unit

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The unit is on the lower level and beautifully landscaped. Great neighborhood to take walks and enjoy Alameda life. My suggestions for the owners would be to supply a Mr. Coffee instead of a French Press as many people do not use a French Press. Also, walk softly as many people are not early risers. Otherwise, very nice stay.
