Convenient, Comfortable, Great environment

We have stayed in several places during our years of visiting family in Alameda. This was by far the best, most comfortable and most convenient. The bed was great, there was plenty of dresser and closet space, the bathroom was roomy. There was a grab bar in the tub/shower which worked perfectly for us old folks. There is no kitchen, but the refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and coffee pot was all we needed. The backyard was a beautiful place to sit and read a book. In and out was easy. Even parking was easy. And even WE could walk to several restaurants, markets and donut shops.

Betty is a gardener too

We loved all the thoughtful touches and the kitchen-- silverware, toaster, refrigerator. Great TV that didn't take a Phd to use. Wonderful neighborhood, close to coffee shops and store a few blocks away. Only problem was a saggy bed. Betty is the best.

Alameda Stay

Very roomy. The amenities were more than adequate, including banana bread and coffee for the first morning. I appreciated the little things, such as a heated throw for the bed and a flashlight near the front door. The property is very close to Crab Cove and restaurants at the end of Webster Street. I would have appreciated more security, such as a chain lock, for the front and back doors.
