A home away from home
We enjoyed a long stay here while our own home was undergoing water damage restoration, and it was comfortable and quiet.
We especially enjoyed the pool on hot summer days, and the location is fantastic. If you're willing to walk 20-30 minutes, you can access much of what Castro Valley has to offer, from boba and barbecue to the movies and more.
A special shout out to Alex for being a communicative and helpful host!
