About the host

Host profile image
Hello...My name is Carlos, I own WeBeBop a women's apparel company which specializes in large sizes. My wife is Katherine and she works for UC's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Our son Leo is in 10th grade. He loves math and science, is on a water polo team and practices capoeira. We are all foodies, and love to cook and travel, garden, and do outdoor activities and urban adventures.

My wife and I both grew up in Southern California and moved to the SF Bay Area to attend UC Berkeley. We have lived in Oakland for around 20 years and love the area! We would be happy to share a our tips about restaurants and things to do.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location...We love our home because it's in the heart of everything. Originally one house built in 1912, we have spent the last 15 years transforming this place into an amazing, arty duplex.

Being able to walk everywhere is awesome. Being by the lake, "the jewel of Oakland," offers walking/running paths and a picnicking scene. We are close to lovely shopping districts with local eateries, shops, a historic movie theater, and the Saturday Farmers' Market. And if you have young kids we are walking distance to Fairyland, a charming, historic amusement park.

What makes this property unique

Our house has many wonderful unique features...Like the two Balinese statues in the front, the dark bamboo floors, the denim wall, and lots of sunshine! You will feel as if your staying in a magical tree house.

This house has been a labor of love for our entire family.
