Peaceful Private Room & Bathroom

I (and my very cute, if overly exuberant, tiny hypoallergenic pup, Baxter—plus my 17-year-old son who is away at school but will occasionally visit on breaks) welcome you to share our sweet, light-filled 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Victorian house smack in the center of the adorably quirky island of Alameda in the middle of San Francisco Bay It’s a fully furnished, stand-alone home with a large, sunny sitting room, well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar, a formal, 10-seat dining room, dishwasher, wine cooler, washer/dryer, central heat, a Juliet balcony (nestled under a tree that sounds like the ocean when the wind blows) perfect for drinking your morning coffee, bikes to explore the island and a spacious backyard made for entertaining with an irrigated vegetable garden box just waiting for a greener thumb than mine! The room itself is the only one on the main floor (the other two bedrooms are downstairs) and features a queen-sized, fold-up Murphy bed, high ceilings, a chandelier, two big, breezy windows (with screens/a dual-window fan and portable air conditioner for when it gets extra hot and central heating for the rare, chilly night) and an en-suite bathroom with a vintage sink and walk-in shower. There’s also a small desk and a fancy little loveseat in there with feathers that are a little pokey. Downstairs, in addition to the two bedrooms there is a full-sized, front-loading washing machine and dryer with plenty of laundry-supplies. Our house is at the end of a safe, friendly, pin-drop-quiet cul-du-sac in Central Alameda on a street well-stocked with lovely neighbors of all ages, not more than a 5 or 10 minute bike/car ride away from nearly anywhere on the island!
