Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Alameda County

I visit the Berkeley area often and chose Kate’s place because of the proximity to my destination. I enjoyed how private the Airbnb felt while still being so close to restaurants and shopping. In previous reviews others had mentioned the temperature of the home but I had no problems at all. As long as you follow the very simple instructions from Kate, the home is as warm (or cool) as you wish it to be. The soaking tub was so relaxing and sitting by the fireplace was the perfect way to end each day . I did not cook while I was there but can attest that Uber Eats and Door Dash found the home and door with ease. I would definitely stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay! Noah’s house was so thoughtfully organized and decorated. It had everything we needed, and we felt comfortable and at home. Noah was very responsive, though we didn’t have any questions or issues during our stay given that everything was as pictured and described and Noah sent clear and helpful instructions before we checked in. The neighborhood was lovely too. We would definitely stay here again!

Feng’s home was lovely and very spacious! We had a group of 8 guests staying and it could accommodate a larger group very well! Thank you for a lovely accommodation, Feng!

The house exceeded our expectations in every way. It was impeccably clean, exactly as advertised, and featured beautiful landscaping that added to its charm. We particularly enjoyed picking fresh oranges from the on-site orange tree—a delightful touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the variety of neck pillows provided ensured a restful sleep. The inclusion of bidet toilets added a level of convenience and hygiene that we greatly appreciated. Our host, Zepelin was outstanding. He responded to our inquiries within minutes and went the extra mile to make our stay special. We truly appreciate his dedication and hospitality. We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a comfortable and well-appointed stay.

This is a great, spacious basement apartment with good natural light! Excellent proximity to shops and restaurants. They have a pack and play and toddler-size cot, which was great so we didn't have to consider that. Mark was communicative, and it didn't feel like we were in their space or vice versa. It was also very nice that they let us use their driveway!

Don & Lori are great! Attention to detail, helpful & quickly responds! I’ll be back!

Beautiful Eichler home. The house was clean, open and beautifully furnished. Great kitchen for cooking and everything felt clean and well well maintained. It was a great place to stay in the area.

Jackie’s house is amazing. We spent a perfect thanksgiving there and my family loved it. A well-appointed kitchen, a large table for games and meals, comfortable social space and a picture perfect view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the city. Jackie is a wonderful host and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Dana was great at communicating the instructions. The place was nice and clean. It was perfect for a week’s stay. We were very comfortable at the place. It’s in a very safe neighborhood.

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

We really enjoyed our stay, the place was quiet, easy to find, and we had a smooth check in/out. The price for our stay also felt like a steal and was cheaper than any hotel room in the area. The place was new, clean, and had new appliances, internet, TV, all the general amenities you may want. Perfect place for a couple looking to stay in the Bay Area and not break the bank. We will definitely stay here again whenever we come back to Castro Valley, thanks Gabriel!

We were happy to stay at Michael's place. He was very helpful and let us check in early. He reminded us about the parking notices in the area, but overall, parking was not a problem. The place was good enough for our stay with everything we needed. We were able to cook with the necessary kitchen essentials. The bed was clean and comfy. The bathroom is small but cleaned. Would highly recommend it if you want to stay near UCB.

A very cozy place, loved the large windows and the fireplace. Comes with parking too, which is a big plus. Located in a great, quiet neighborhood that's a 15ish minute walk from UC Berkeley (the stadium and Haas in particular). Had a great stay overall, would highly recommend!

Very cute and comfortable place! Bathroom was super clean! And the parking spot was a plus

This is such a lovely studio. Super comfy and spotless. The bed is very comfy, the kitchenette was just right for making a quick breakfast, and I loved the deck - could have lounged on the deck chairs for days enjoying the sun and the view. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Quiet but inviting, with some very impressive architecture, and several fantastic little local parks. Everything is pretty steep in the area, and it makes you feel like you're in a different world from the rest of the city. Jan was very responsive and helpful, and we had exactly the relaxing weekend we needed.

AMAZING place that was immaculately clean and well-appointed. Thoughtfulness extended all the way down to how intricately the towels were folded. Top-class place with a top-rate host.

Loved this room! Had a party of 3 for one night and we had only booked a room with one bed. Host was kind enough to lay out an extra air mattress for us and was very communicative and clear. Great location with a beautiful view too. Thanks!

This was our second stay, and I have to say still amazing and wonderful and relaxing place to stay! Host (Alex) was amazing and beyond helpful and friendly. Looking forward to our next trip up!

What a peaceful retreat! Perfect for two people as a home base during a bay area trip. The view was wonderful, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything else. Would 100% stay here again.

I loved my stay! Milady was amazing and very welcoming. The house was beautiful and I loved the views.

Beautiful home and great place for us to gather with our children and grandchildren. We would definitely come back. A great time was had by all. Communication was great and check in seamless.

Another wonderful stay in this beautiful and welcoming home. We look forward to returning whenever it’s available!
