Getting Around
We recommend you rent a car if you want to drive outside of our immediate area, Contra Costa County. We can negotiate the use of our Toyota Prius for local drives, such as to grocery stores, local restaurants, and to BART stations.
Stores and restaurants are walkable from our home, or we have 3 bikes to use.
For transportation outside of Contra Costa County, which is where Concord is, we recommend renting a car, taking BART, or the ferry in Oakland is a fun trip to San Francisco. The bus system in our area is lousy.

It had been a pleasure having Kristen and Aaron as my guests. The communication has been perfect, and they have left my home clean and tidy and even washed the bedsheets etc. they used before they left.
You are always welcome back another time!
Marie Louise’s apartment near Aarhus is a wonderful place to stay. The view from her living room window, especially at sunset, is worth the trip.
The apartment has everything you need and is beautifully decorated. It is like walking into an art gallery.
The train station is only a 7 minute walk away. You’ll be in Aarhus in about 7 minutes once you catch a train. Bus stops are also nearby.
Thank you Marie Louise for letting us stay at your lovely home.
