Offering a small 1 bedroom with a trundle daybed (pops up to full sized bed -with extremely comfortable mattresses), private adjacent bathroom and a shared (but rarely used) large family room area on the bottom floor of my home tucked away on a quiet street in El Sobrante, CA - a suburban area, but where my house is, it feels rural, in spite of being close to cities, too,. The home is a sanctuary with plenty of natural light and surrounded by mature oak, laurel and magnolia trees, There's also a creek on the property. Occasionally, deer run by the creek, or you might spot a wild turkey in the bushes, or a hawk overhead. There’s a wrap around deck on the upper level, and another deck with a Jacuzzi on the lower level. There’s also a full laundry on the lower level. If you like to hike, Kennedy Grove Regional Park is only a 1/2 mile away, or take a short drive to several points along the bay to hike. There's also bicycling along San Pablo Dam Road. An approximately 40 minute drive gets you to Napa for wine tasting, or 30 minutes into San Francisco for museums, theater or fine dining. There are great restaurants in Oakland and Berkeley (if you are visiting the UC campus , this is a great place to stay), too - only a 15 to 20 minute drive - and fabulous taco trucks and Mexican joints, Vietnamese and Chinese in Richmond and Albany (just 10 minutes away). Also, there's are shopping areas 2-3 miles away with Trader Joe's, Target, Bev Mo, Lucky's and Safeway, etc. The room can accommodate two, but it's really best for the solo traveler. I am semi- retired and live alone.

I prefer bank transfer in advance for payment. Cancel with refund up to 3 days in advance. We can provide meals if requested, for a small additional charge. And btw, I'm a former culinary school grad, caterer, and a really great cook. I just ask that you are quiet and respectful, as I'm sure you are.
