Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Albany

The house is stunningly beautiful - wood floors, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful tile work- in one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of California - a beaches and hiking trails that go on for miles. Definitely one of the nicest Air B and Bs that we have stayed at.

Had a wonderful stay in the area and the home was extremely cozy with plenty of amenities and activities to do all around! Hosts were very friendly and responsive as well, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great home in a great neighborhood. I felt safe leaving my car parked in front. The home was great, plenty of water and snacks for the kids and lots of beds. Very quiet and peaceful, but just a short walk or drive to shops and restaurants.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for our weekend in San Anselmo. The home was cozy, clean, and had coffee - what more could we ask for? Thank you!

Great stay super nice place clean safe area. Excellent owner communication for sure recommended stay!

We came to Stephanie’s place from the East Coast for a family funeral, and although it was a sad occasion that brought us there, her place was a peaceful, beautiful, and much needed retreat for our weekend stay! Just perfect. It was exactly as pictured with charming touches and a cozy welcoming atmosphere. She has thought of everything to set guests up and make them feel at home, from soaps in the bathroom to extra throw blankets and pillows. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the back patio under the canopy and enjoying the sun with a glass of wine. Stephanie was quick to answer questions and very accommodating! Stephanie, thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back very soon!

We absolutely loved the interior design, layout and artwork. We had everything and more for a comfortable stay. The location isn’t walkable but is a short drive to restaurants, groceries, and plenty of beautiful outdoor activities. Annie was a very responsive host.

We loved staying in this charming studio right in the heart of Elmwood. It was so easy to walk to cute cafes, UC Berkeley, and all around the beautiful area. The studio had a cozy fireplace, great places to do work, and was overall very comfortable. It was a bit loud from outside noise/traffic and the walls are pretty thin, but it didn't bother us too much. Heather was very responsive and extremely helpful with any needs we had. She even let us park in the driveway to avoid street parking, which was a huge plus! Would highly recommend!!

This little hideaway was just perfect. Comfortable bed, amazing views, warm and cozy. The view from the hot tub is worth the cost alone. The place is also perfectly stocked - everything you need, without being cluttered. Thank you for having me, Jan!

We had a great stay at Randy's place in Berkeley! The unit was clean, comfortable, quiet and exactly as pictured and described. We had a great time walking to UC Berkeley along Euclid, a lovely, leafy neighborhood with peekaboo views of the San Francisco Bay all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. We highly recommend this rental and hopefully we will be back someday.

Very comfortable and cozy. It was very private and quiet. There was minimal noise. The place had everything you needed and was close by to restaurants, shops, and more. I recovered from a surgery and it was perfectly fine for me!

Great little place - had some trouble with the front gate the first night, but that might’ve been my exhaustion. Little sad there wasn’t a thermostat, only heaters that need to be turned off when you’re out; but the dining room fireplace warmed up well. Zero heat available in the 2nd bedroom was a mild disappointment. Overall though, an excellent stay. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes, pans, etc. Parking in the driveway was an awesome bonus in Oakland. Comfy beds/ pillows. Good blinds for someone who doesn’t like to get up too early.

This has been the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at so far! The yard area is super cute, very well maintained and decorated. The kitchen had everything I needed for cooking, and the fridge was stocked with plenty of complimentary drinks for guests. The bed and pillows were so comfortable, it felt like I was sleeping in my own bed. The bathroom was well-stocked with fresh towels and personal care items. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into setting up the space. Renzo, the host, was incredibly friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure the guest had a comfortable stay. Before my arrival, I asked if there happened to be a yoga mat in the unit, and Renzo made sure to get one for me. It was such a thoughtful touch (THANK YOU again!!), and I was able to maintain my workout routine while traveling. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at Heidi's place a few years ago for a week or so when visiting Oakland, and happily chose the same place when we wanted to be back in town for close to a month.

Jonathan was a responsive host from the time of booking and throughout our stay. We were visiting San Francisco to see friends and family in the area so we really didn't spend as much time in the house as we had anticipated, but we certainly had everything thing we needed and more that we didn't fully get the chance to use. The garage parking (aka a guaranteed and safe parking spot) was well worth the price and the location is amazingly walkable with a bounty of transit options to take you anywhere in the city. All the rooms were very spacious with lots of space for storing belongings. We only used the beds in the 2 bedrooms. One has a very firm mattress and the other is very soft, so you can choose the ed that works best for you. The kitchen seemed really well stocked, though we didn't use the full capacity during our stay. But we'd definitely stay again at Jonathan's place.

Fantastic stay

Great location on the canal! The house had a sauna, jacuzzi, pool, kayaks and a paddle board. All the toys for an active stay unfortunately, it was too cold during our stay to take advantage of the water toys. We however enjoyed the fire pit and the jacuzzi. We also had a movie night on the comfortable sectional and huge TV in the family room.

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.

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

A great stay from start to finish. Any issues encountered were few, minor, and quickly addressed. The unit was nice and well kept, private, and had clear, written instructions upon arrival. Everything we needed was provided, and the hosts were very polite, friendly, responsive, and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Great home, central to the Bay and wine country witch was exactly what we were looking for to meet the whole families expectation. Navato feels safe with great coffee Dr insomniacs and restaurants the Village 5 minutes away 👍🏻👍🏻

Gina’s place is a sanctuary. The views are absolutely stunning and you feel transported, like you’ve gone to a tropical paradise. Everything was spotless and beautiful and at the same time cozy. I could not recommend this place enough.
