Guest stayed a few nights
Athena’s home is an excellent stay! She is an attentive host & excellent communicator! Her home is super clean, comfortable & thoughtfully stocked. It feels spacious for its size & everyone in our group felt comfortable & like they had privacy. Big backyard! The location is perfect! A safe neighborhood with driveway parking plus located right off the freeway makes traveling to SF or Oakland a breeze! Just a couple minutes from the farmers market & shopping/eats (Try Castro Valley Marketplace!).
Honestly, the perfect stay & would stay here again. Highly recommend!

I would like to give Athena a big thumbs up. We were there visiting for our sons wedding and we had all the comforts of home, clean, organized, comfortable and loved the extra throw blankets as didn't expect the weather to be cold really helped out. Thank you would love to visit again. :)
