A perfect location for a relaxing vacation. The hosts were wonderful, too. The space was clean and had all the amenities needed for comfort. Taking leisurely walks to College Ave to shop and eat were added benefits to the location. Will definitely be back when we travel here again!

Great walking neighborhood

This large basement apartment is equidistant from Rockridge and Temescal districts, offering great options for dining out. The kitchen is well set up if you’re more inclined to eat in, and good groceries are walking distance away. Jeri was welcoming. Instructions for checking in and out clear and simple.

Perfect Stay!

Our family stayed in this basement apartment while visiting friends in the area. It is a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. The apartment had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard on sunny afternoons. This property has the perfect location. It is close to BART, Trader Joe's and restaurants. We walked and took transit everywhere -- we did not need a car. We felt totally safe walking around the neighborhood and on transit during our stay in Oakland. We would definitely stay here again!

Oakland visit

The apartment is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We were surprised to find it is in a lower level and doesn’t have much sunlight. It was not much of an issue because we were out everyday.

Family Wedding Weekend!

Hi! This was a nice place, but I would not choose it again for a fun vacation getaway with family. It is a basement apartment, so there are no good outside views. It's dark, and the lighting isn't great. There was a patio there, but due to the intimacy of the location and posted rules, we did not feel comfortable hanging out there or inviting any of our relatives to stop by and visit. It was odd to be asked not to park in front of the property as all other parking was in front of the neighbors' homes. It is a shoeless apartment, but there is not a good setup for sitting and removing shoes comfortably on entry. I would only choose this location for work travel, not for a vacation getaway.
