A beautifully homely house chock full of books and toys and cooking utensils- from vintage cook books and coffeetable tomes to guidebooks and bric a brac. This is a world away from the cold lines of bare, modern apartments and has all the charm of creaking floorboards, airy rooms and balconies overlooking cafes and streetlife.
The apartment has ridiculous sized flatscreens in each room for families who like their tv (we do) and the kitchen is amply stocked especially with amenities for those who like to make cocktails, grill sandwiches or bake.
The best aspect of this apartment was the caretaker Linda who was like our smiling, sunny aunt. She looked after us like we were family.
This is a beautiful home in a residential, quiet part of a university district in Alameda. Very tidy for families and groups especially with tons of comfy, clean bedding. The fourth bedroom with bunkbeds is attached to the kitchen and a little small as is the second bathroom with it but we’ve had an amazing stay here.
