About this house rental

WE WELCOME BUSINESS AND TRAVEL NURSES AS WELL AS WINE COUNTRY TOURISTS.

Cozy Clean Studio Apartment in Pinole with private entrance. We are tucked away on a hilltop with full access to enjoy our backyard garden patio with ocean views and colorful sunsets over the San Pablo Bay and Napa Valley. The unit is very clean, warm and quiet with quick access to the I-80, Old Town Pinole restaurants, cafes, farmers market, plentiful waterfront bayside hiking options and more .

We’ve hosted many nurses and business travelers who say our place was the cleanest they’ve encountered in the area.

We offer a full kitchen, comfy queen bed, 2 person dining table, lounge chair, closet space, all wood 6 drawer dresser, high speed wifi, SMART TV with ROKU streaming, and laundry access. We have central heat available for the winter months and a control remote ceiling fan for the warmer months. The bathroom has a bidet toilet and rain shower head. In 2021 we upgraded the unit with a skylight for better ambiance. We have a whole-house water filter so our water is extra pure.

This unit is very private so its perfect for couples, wine country tourists, business professionals, traveling nurses etc. Plenty of parking is available in our driveway or on the street. The neighborhood is very safe. If you are visiting friends and family in the area, you already know the lodging options are limited around here.

The studio is small but nicely appointed, well-maintained and impeccably clean! Seriously, not a spec of dust to be found anywhere. A brand new full-sized fridge had just been installed and the stove and shower looked new as well. Judy is a wonderful and attentive host. Responsive and kind. The garden is lovely with a bit of bay view. A great value overall. Highly recommended!
