Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Albany

We had a wonderful stay. The house is pretty and had all the charm of an older Berkeley home while still being clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. The house is surrounded by redwood trees and a block from a beautiful rose garden and fantastic children’s park. It is also in walking (or short driving) distance from great restaurants, coffee shops, and stores on Solano. While very central, the neighborhood is also peaceful and quiet. The owners were responsive and easy to coordinate with. We would stay here again and highly recommend.

The house had everything we needed! Malcolm was super quick to respond to anything we needed or couldn't find. The house is beautiful and is a great setting for large gatherings. Beds are super comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe to walk about. The house is very clean. Malcom is also a very friendly host and cares about his airbnb customers. Also, one of the easiest airbnbs to check out of! Malcom doesn't have a long list of things you need to do before leaving his property, which was very much appreciated by my family!

We had a terrific time at Keren's home in Mill Valley.

Kit's place is fantastic in terms of location, accommodation, and value! The host is friendly and was very quick to respond to any questions or needs. While we encountered an issue with the dishwasher during our stay, Kit worked to resolve it. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back with my family.

Wow, this home is spectacular. We loved every minute of our time there, it is gorgeous and also comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen is primed for alllll cooking - such nice pots n pans - beautiful plates - etc etc, and we loved hanging out around the counter on the stools. Beds are super comfy, I slept great! (Rare and beautiful thing) The little 1/2 bath down the stairs is super helpful too. And laundry! But mostly is the feel of ‘just right’ - this place is very Goldilocks! All the stars!!!

Great host, would stay again! Thanks!

We had a very pleasant stay at Stephanie's place. She was very helpful in answering questions. The house was spacious and as described. Would recommend.

Thank you Tim, your place is beautiful and in a nice and quiet part of the city.

Great place to stay and the host is so kind and accommodating!! 10/10 would recommend!

Great experience all around, clean, tasteful, and carefully thought-through space with amazing views from outdoor deck, and great communication from the host. Thank you!

We are so grateful for our stay, it worked great for us and our pets. It was very comfortable and had all we needed. The stairs to the location are quite steep, which made it a little more challenging, but elsewise, the surrounding area is lovely with easy freeway access. Ottoline was great at communication.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Terri’s place. We spent 11 days here over the Christmas and New Year’s vacations, and we enjoyed every single day. The apartment is equipped with everything we need, and the street parking is convenient with always-available spaces. We especially love the stunning views, and we never felt bored, even when we stayed inside for the entire day.

Thank you for being a great host, Joe. My family and I much appreciated your detailed directions, and felt right at home. Love the toasty warm fireplace heater!

Renzo’s professionalism and quick response to all my questions made my trip much easier and enjoyable. I had a special request and he fulfilled my request not because he had to but because he wanted to. The home itself was amazing!!! Let’s put emphasis on CLEAN AND COZY!!!! I felt at home. I’m so glad I found this place and if I visit California again, I will without a doubt book with him!!!! Thank you Renzo for the amazing experience and hospitality!

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.

Terry’s place was absolutely beautiful and very cozy. Loved the bedding and all the classic decor. I would definitely stay here again and loved it being next to Bella Vista park. Amazing views when you hiked to the top.

Beautiful peaceful environment. Amazing million dollar view . Very quiet private very kind hospitality host is amazing to say the least . Warm home one of the best experiences ever . Love ❤️ this place

This place was perfect for me. Very quiet and a Great comfortable High quality Tempur-pedic bed. Large Beautiful kitchen and living room and deck that is shared with the family, but they spend their time downstairs or at work mostly, so very quiet too. the host Family are very kind and friendly and respectful of the space. Two little dogs were absolutely darling and very well behaved and after the initial barking hello whenever you came home, completely quiet. And beautiful views and surroundings as well. Couldn't have asked for more.

I enjoyed my one month’s stay here. Location is very accessible, room is clean, hosts are also very responsive. The toilet was a little small compared to other places. But it was a decent size and worked well for us. The room looks out to the beautiful shared backyard, however there is still a lot of privacy. Thank you and I would come back if I ever find myself in the area 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.

This place was great location overall. Everything was clean and immaculate condition. Would definitely go back if I’m back in the Bay Area.

Lovely house in a quiet neighborhood. Amenities and supplies were as described, and the house had a very open, relaxing and warm flow to it. Great family trip especially with the heated pool in winter! Gina was very helpful and responsive with all of our questions ahead of and during our stay.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family trip! Really enjoyed the beautiful house and views - felt very comfortable and just like home. Peter was an amazing host - from helping to coordinate our stay weeks ahead of time through checkout. Extremely thoughtful and responsive. Highly recommend!
