The space

There is no cleaning fee to make a booking less confusing and straightforward. A charming quiet one-bedroom apartment in a garden setting. The apartment is equipped with a coffee maker and filters, teakettle, microwave, stove, and mini-refrigerator for making a light breakfast (coffee and an assortment of teas are complimentary). There's a cute rustic red china set with cups and glasses and every type of utensil needed. A real queen size bed with a memory foam top gives a comfortable night of sleep. Luxuriate in the claw foot bath/shower. The bathroom has soap and a hairdryer. The large walk-in closet has hangers and shelves. The place has lots of built-in features and unique touches. Enjoy a walk up the garden path, among many fruit trees of tangerine, lime, lemon, orange, fig, and loquat. You will find many herbs and colorful flowers nestled away. And if you make it to the far reaches of the garden a bench over-looking the ravine and creek below awaits you. There is a washer and dryer on the premises. Parking is easy with quick access to HWY 580 and HWY 13 and a 10-minute drive to the bay bridge. Sorry, no pets. I am delighted to report upgrades to the apartment... full-size couch, new bathroom door, hot water heater, and Toto toilet! There is no cleaning fee to make a booking less confusing and straightforward.

Guest access
You have access to the garden where you can have an afternoon glass of wine or a morning cup of tea. Full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and Internet will make your stay easy!

Interaction with guests
Though, I may not be home to greet you as you arrive lots of my guests love the fact that they can arrive anytime to access the apartment through a code system. I keep a very busy work week, but that being said, I can't wait to meet you and tell about all the great things happening in this up-and-coming town or get you quickly off to SF. So come knock on my door!

The neighborhood
This neighborhood is quiet and just a few minutes from gorgeous walks through the woods. Though residential, it does boast a few good restaurants. If you are a swimmer or runner you will be stunned by the beauty of Mills College's trails and redwood-laden public pool. Mills College is across the street from the house.

Getting around
There is a bus line that stops on my street, taking you to BART & on to SF or other Bay Area locals. Going by car is very easy, you will have lots of parking at the house and quick access to two freeways!
