Great place for our work trip
This is a great place to stay. It had everything we needed. The best part is off street parking directly behind the house. No searching for street parking. Host checked in with us during the stay to make sure we didn't need anything. We will defiantly stay here again when we come back for work or vacation.

Great VRBO
Our first VRBO experience was really fantastic! Everyone in our party commented on how thoughtfully every aspect of the VRBO was setup. It has everything you need in every room and has plenty of space for 6 people. Great neighborhood with lots of old Victorians and friendly locals. Wonderful walks for exercise or errands. Local shops, restaurants and groceries (Trader Joe’s!) are within 10 minute walking distance. There are cute parks in the heart of the residential areas and the beach is only a 15-20 minute walk away. Things to know that will help future renters and that will hopefully be added to the VRBO profile. - Three flights of steep external stairs to get to the unit. - There was only one designated parking space instead of the two spaces specified. - There is a low roofed part of the building that juts out over the driveway just a bit. It’s a tight squeeze and untenable if you have a large or tall vehicle. Our Audi SUV and Denali fit just fine, but it was close! Overall, we had a wonderful experience. So good in fact, I felt a bit conflicted writing the review, wanted to keep it all for ourselves.

A great place for our stay!
The building is in a central part of Alameda - very easy to get all around the island, as well as to Oakland and SF from this location. Very clean, with comfortable beds and a nice kitchen with all the cooking equipment we needed. It was nice to have the deck to sit out and relax on. My adult son and I stayed here while in Alameda for my Granddaughter's baby shower. It was perfect for what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Getten & Gordon Coslow

Host profile image
I live in Alameda, CA for the past 40 years. I graduated from San Francisco State University. I love interior designing. I feel good about hosting because I believe that I give travelers an option by providing them a place to stay with a kitchen to cook their own meals when they are on vacation instead of having to go to a restaurant for every meal.

Why they chose this property

The property is in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Alameda. It is a beautiful neighborhood and the home is just 2 blocks from Park Street, the main street in Alameda where there are over 40 different restaurants and shops. It is also just 3 blocks from the beach. I walk to Park St. many times to eat out and I don't have to worry about finding a parking space on the busy street.

What makes this property unique

This penthouse is a CLASSIC. The building is registered with the City of Alameda as an HISTORIC BUILDING. The penthouse is on the 3rd floor of this Large 1889 Victorian. It covers the whole top floor of the building. This 1889 Victorian house has 7 gables and windows in all directions. From the back deck you can sit on the wagon wheel chair and look all the way down to the beach which is 4 blocks away. The view is beautiful. There is a avocado tree hanging over the deck that bears many avocados and it also give you privacy. There are stairs to climb. But when you get to the top of the stairs and enter the penthouse it makes it all worth the climb. The fireplace, the redwood ceiling, the 1889 old brick chimney, the view from the deck., the outside furniture on the deck with a redwood table and chairs where you can have dinner outdoors all makes it a special place to stay in the heart of the city. The penthouse is in a location that has easy access to the 880 freeway which will take you to anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Oakland Airport about 3 miles away. It is also just a 10 minute drive to the Alameda ferry station on Main St. to San Francisco.
