Listing Description Quiet, peaceful home in the Richmond Hills, close to Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, Marin County, and Wine Country. This house offers private entry, plenty of free parking, and is close to BART. Child, family, and pet-friendly. Great wifi for working from home. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a place to settle in for a few weeks with your family, this calm and comfortable home is the perfect setting. Use it as a home base for exploring the many sites and cities the Bay Area offers. Drive to wine country, or take BART into the city. Staying local? Explore Wild Cat Canyon, a beautiful regional park within a 15-minute walk with multiple trails and eucalyptus trees. Walk to the local market or check out the many restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area. Need a relaxing day indoors? Read in a living room full of natural light, with large windows showcasing the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Fruit trees adorn the front patio, and a garden oasis promises a sun-drenched afternoon. The three bedrooms are furnished with comfortable beds, and one of the rooms can easily function as an office. Note: The in-law unit (downstairs, separate entrance) is occupied by my daughter and our golden doodle. They are quiet and respectful and can help with any questions or needs you have during your stay. The backyard is not for guests use. Neighborhood Description The East Richmond Hills neighborhood is a peaceful and friendly neighborhood that is close to the freeway and BART, yet feels like a hidden gem off the beaten path. Here are some of the beautiful places our neighborhood has to offer: Dog-friendly parks: Wildcat Canyon Regional Park https://www.ebparks.org/parks/wildcat/ - 1 mile Mira Vista Field (entrance on Zinn St.) - 0.2 miles Point Isabel - 5 miles. While a bit farther, this is a dog and human paradise where dog owners can enjoy coffee and snacks while their pups socialize) Food and drinks: Arlington market - 0.3 miles Catahoula Coffee - 1.4 miles Dozens of restaurants with 4 stars and above on San Pablo Ave - 1.2 miles Our favorite cafes and restaurants are on Solano Ave in Albany, CA - 5.5 miles Sightseeing San Francisco downtown - 16 miles. Although traffic in Bay Area can slow down access to the city, it only takes 20-30 min to drive to San Francisco when roads are clear. There are two ways to drive to the city: via the Bay Bridge and via the Richmond / Golden Gate bridges. This helps when there is heavy traffic on one of the routes. BART is also a great way to get to the city and the station is 5 min drive from the house. It is also accessible by bus. UC Berkeley - 10 miles Marin County - 16 miles Napa Valley - 30 miles Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - 18 miles As a frequent traveler myself, I appreciate places like my home that allow you to get the feel of real life and avoid tourist traps. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchairs on site - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: The penalty for smoking of any kind is $200. ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Bicycles - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,800 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 3 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property at the number on the booking confirmation Note from host: We will welcome any well-mannered pets.

Quality linens and towels. Easy parking. Quiet, safe, clean neighborhood. Beautiful views and a cozy atmosphere. Luckily it was pet friendly too. We always treat our stays with the upmost respect and cleanliness but sometimes hosts do not allow dogs. Our babies were able to enjoy the patio which is nice to have when wanting a little fresh air. Great stay ##### Elis V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen K. Apr 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location! Great location and fantastic views! Advertisement on Vrbo suggests back patio and hot tub are part of rental but there is someone living downstairs and so those are private. I think in the instructions to the place, it suggests you can ask to use those but we didn’t see those right away so when I went back there, I surprised the tenant and her dog. That was fine cause hot tub wasn’t what I wanted anyway. Just a little misleading in the advertisement. Otherwise, a fantastic place! ##### Karen K.

The house is cute and comfortable with Gorgeous views. It's out of the hustle and bustle to downtown but still close stores. The neighborhood felt safe and the couple of neighbors we saw were friendly. 10 out of 10 would stay here again. My only suggestion would be to bring a couple gallons of water for drinking if you're not used to city water! Lol ##### Robyn B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paula k.
