Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Albany

My daughter and I loved our stay in this space. We found it very cozy. It’s within walking distance to so much while also being in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I would gladly stay here again on a future trip back to the area.

This is a very conveniently located house, near the restaurants and shops of Solano Avenue and the Albany Hill Park, and very close to the Albany entrances to the freeways. The front of the house looks over the freeway to the bay with vistas to Marin, the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco. While it is very close to the roads, the house is well sound-proofed. The bedrooms are especially quiet. The house is clean and recently renovated. All in all a good value.

This was a great spot! In addition to having beautiful taste in decor and being friendly and responsive, Jennifer was also super understanding when I had to modify my trip because of a change in plans.

I booked this place for my mom and brother who were visiting the Bay Area for a week. The cottage is located behind the host’s house. It looked just like the photos, with clean bathroom (with hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash), kitchen (with basic kitchenwares and full fridge), comfortable queen size bed, and living room with futon and a large TV. I noticed that the house is conveniently located near BART station, which made it easy for me to visit them even without a car. It’s right by I-80, 5 minutes walking distance 99 Ranch, and 15 minutes walking distance to the BART station. There are also lots of restaurants around the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!

Very nice place to stay in Berkeley. You'll find everything you need in Megan's place. In sunny days, the patio is the place to be.

Perfectly decorated and appointed home in a beautiful neighborhood. Thoughtful details everywhere. Comfortable and peaceful would definitely book again. A+++++

This is one of the nicest AirBnBs that we have stayed at. The spot was unique, in a fantastic walkable location, and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensil needed and the outdoor space behind it was very relaxing and a pleasure to sit out in. Highly recommend this location if you are looking to stay in the area. Would book again if we are traveling to the location again.

We had wonderful time at Heather and Steven’s home. Both are just great host’s, very helpful and proactive, communication was just quick and great. The home was easy to find and everything was as described. The location is fantastic, short walks the grocery stores, Bart and nice cafes. We are locking forward to our next stay with Heather and Steve and can just highly recommend this location.

Nice and spacious for three people. Living room with the couch, ottoman, chair and TV is very comfortable to stay. Couch is big enough for sleep. Bedroom is basic but has everything we need and clean. There is a small study desk that I set up for work for a couple days. Kitchen/laundry room has good space and a table with 4 chairs. In house washer/dryer is very convenient. It will be helpful if there are a few more kitchenware, such as cutting knife and chopping board. Bathroom room is a bit small but functional. The floor is a little slippery when wet, especially coming out of the shower. Quiet neighborhood. Feel safe. Overall a good place. Will stay again.

I stayed in the little studio for 2 months while on a research visit, and it was truly a home during this time. It's walkable to the university and excellently connected with public transport. It's in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of activities. The house has a beautiful back garden. It is not super-well insulated and you can hear your neighbours, which was a tiny drawback. The studio is tiny, but extremely comfortable and cozy. I appreciated the access to laundry and the host's responsiveness whenever I needed something.

We enjoyed our stay at Renée's. It was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store. The place was spotless and the garden was beautiful. Communication was great and we appreciated the offer to check in early as we were driving around with luggage. Would definitely stay here again!

much needed getaway from home. Zero complaints. would come again.

Nice convenient place to stay when traveling business or for fun to Oakland. Thanks for a great stay I’ll be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location couldn’t have been more perfect—just a few blocks from our favorite Cheeseboard Collective Pizzeria and within easy walking distance to UC Berkeley. We were in town for a wedding and needed a family-friendly place nearby, and this home checked every box and more. The space was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. The bathroom was especially impressive—clean, well-stocked with soft towels, and featuring a beautifully laid-out shower and hot tub that made winding down in the evenings a true treat. The kitchen was pristine and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy meals during our stay. Traveling with little ones can be challenging, but this home made it easy. There was even a pack 'n play ready for our infant, which was such a thoughtful touch. The layout of the home was comfortable, cozy, and made our time there feel like a true home-away-from-home. Highly, highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Berkeley

The cozy casita was absolutely amazing. It was perfect for my weekend getaway. I had plans in emeryville it was very close. The details of the casita were well thought out. I felt the love that was put in. Would definitely stay again.

Very private and beautiful view. Great recommendations for food nearby.

Easy walk to Lake Merritt or 12th St BART stations. One block from Lake Merritt. Quiet building. Perfect.

Nice cozy place and good location.

Lovely place in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. Amazing views if you walk two blocks north. You can walk to the Lyon steps which has lovely views of the bay and stunning homes surrounding it . Fillmore St has a lot of shops and restaurants and is a fairly flat walk from the apartment. Get a croissant at La Boulange on Pine St. absolutely fabulous.

Had an excellent stay, everything one needs for a fun trip to Oakland/Berkeley

Nader, We love the Deco and the Vibes of the home. Toilet has heated seats and in-Built Bidet spray for your Ehem-ehems! Toaster,water boiler,many pans, oven, microwave, he has everything u need. I asked about Aircon🙈. We did. not need aircon as The weather is so nice and cold at Night (11degrees 13-18Jun). We loved that Nader is a responsive and responsible host. My 15yr old son had a home accident and broke a hanging light fixture at the dining area as he stood up. We informed Nader of the issue. Super-host asked "firstly, is your son okay? Does he need medical attention? I have a first aid kit in the home". Super-host Wins!!! (Inna haza larizkunna mallahu minnafad. Amiin Amiin Amiin) - our doas to Allah SWT to grant you more Rezki for providing us a safe great home to stay. Boys wanna come back to SFO and re-stay at your home again! Thank you Nader

One of my favorite locations ive stayed in. Beautiful scenery! Beautiful home, comfortable bed! I'd love to live there! Only complain is the entrance to parking, if you have a low car, the bottom will scrape horrible if you dont hug the wall. and if youre staying downstairs, youll hear upstairs foot steps, but that was only 1 morning. besides those 2 complaints, its a excellent Beautiful home!

We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

Amy met me to give me the keys and walked me through the condo to explain everything. It was a very personal approach. She also reached out to me the first morning to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Everything was spotless and very high end. The place was very quiet and peaceful. I especially enjoyed the patio. I would highly recommend Amy's place to anyone looking for a base to enjoy San Francisco. I intend to stay again the next time I need a place in San Francisco for a few days.
