The apartment was a perfect size for us. The beds were very comfortable and the garden/views were beautiful. It's right off the 101, so easy to access. Walkablity is 5/10, but very easy drive to coffee and restaurants.

Great little find

Very much enjoyed my stay here. Everything was clean, lots of amenities etc. Easy to find and access location wise. David was so helpful when I had a question for him, responding immediately and well. It’s a really interesting building and has a lot of character. Some quirkiness too.

This VRBO is a mixture of good and bad. The unit itself was very clean; parts of it were new/well kept, others were pretty bad & worn out. The location & the price was reasonable for a bay area visit. When I made the reservation, I sent a message to the host about us & why we were visiting, they made no response.Entrance is difficult to find, located on winding roads & small or unmarked driveways. The gate is new and worked well. Numerous vehicles parked everywhere, some covered with tarps. Parking is kind of marked, but you are on your own to figure it out. There are gravel areas with kids toys & gardening stuff strewn around. The listing does not indicate that this old house has been chopped up into numerous units. The listing does not clearly state that the unit is up a very steep set of stairs. That staircase leads to two landings. One that houses the sauna, which is shoved in a corner of a crowded area that they use for storage. The other landing contains the entrance to two units; one of which seemed to be occupied by renters who were entering at the same time, & seemed to linger while we were trying to access the keypad, didn't feel secure or safe. The inside of the unit was clean, but some furniture was so worn out, the wood finishes were scuffed off. The window coverings were short curtains on a cable cord that sagged down, very janky. The bathroom had nowhere to put toiletries & the sink was cracked. Some bedding was stinky. View marred by power lines.
