Easy to find, parking ample on side street, convenient location for access to town. Stay was comfortable with very little noise from Broadway, surprisingly. Kitchen, bath, and bedroom were very clean and well-appointed. Couldn’t get the coffee maker to work, but don’t care for Keurig coffee anyway due to the plastic.

We loved this little quaint cottage so much! It’s close to everything, you can easily walk to so much. The property is very well appointed with literally all you need, it’s very clean and comfortable. Alameda is adorable too. Don’t miss that directly across the street there is a Spite house! We had no idea! If you don’t know what that is, look it up, very cool. Ole’s Waffles was great, and there is a pin ball museum here too! We were here for a week and cannot recommend this as a place to stay more highly.

I can’t say enough great things about the property and the owners. It is so well kept, clean, and centrally located. It has everything you can think of for a comfortable stay. It’s easy to see why the calendar shows this property is often booked in advance. Will definitely book again when we visit Alameda again.

Meticulously clean, perfectly located, cozy cottage

From the moment I checked in to the moment I left, I felt like I was in my home away from home. The home was meticulously clean, cozy, perfectly located, and had all of the necessities including toiletries and kitchen needs you could possibly need for a week-long stay. The only challenge was street parking.
