About this property

“Hella Smart” North Oakland Home - for WEDDING SEASON!!!

It’s a new year and a great time to spend “Wedding Season” in the Bay Area! Come stay at my family home inspired by my travels around the globe as a musician and my pride for ‘The Town.’ Nestled in a beautiful and quiet historic North Oakland neighborhood, my home features: gorgeous coffered ceilings, a formal dining room that seats six, chef's kitchen, queen-sized beds with 1,000 thread-count luxury sheets in every bedroom, spa-like bathrooms with thoughtful toiletries, home office, and a zen backyard with sound system and BBQ. Features “SMART” home details such as light and sprinkler automation, NEST thermostat, and a RING doorbell (with backyard camera) that can be operated with an ALEXA home device. Its perfect for the solo business traveler, the couple looking for some time to get away from it all, adventure seekers wanting to explore the San Francisco Bay Area while still being in close proximity to SF and Napa, or the family road trip stop off (we've got private off-street parking that can accommodate an RV or even a boat). You'll feel like you're in your own oasis while staying here!
Taking a family trip with small kiddos? Perfect home for families with small children and I can supply a high chair, crib, and car seat if needed so you don’t have to travel with these bulky items. Oh and did I mention the location?! Meet up at ‘The Greek!’ Perfect home to stay in while taking in a summer concert at The Greek Theatre. My home is a quick ten minute drive to/from the UC Berkeley campus and a ten minute drive to the vibrant downtown Oakland attractions and restaurants. Heading off for the day to explore San Francisco and celebrate PRIDE is literally a 15-minute drive over the Bay Bridge, and wine country is a 45-minute drive away- so basically LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Can’t wait to meet you!

Great stay!

Our family with 2 small kiddos stayed here during our stay in the Bay Area. Very easy check in and out process. Lots of thoughtful extra like the pantry stocked with kid snacks and it was nice to have cooking basics- spices, oil, etc. Very clean as well!

Simone & David are outstanding hosts!

I booked Simone & David's beautiful house rather last minute before Christmas as my daughter had to have leg surgery & I needed a place with a first floor bedroom and few entrance steps. Boy, did we get lucky! I can easily say that Simone and David are the best & most attentive hosts that I have ever experienced. The house itself has been beautifully renovated. The decor and artwork are very well done too (and I'm picky). Every need has been thought of in this well stocked home!

Pleasant and convenient

This was the most well-stocked vacation rental we've stayed at. The dining table and living room worked well for us as gathering places. Our host was very gracious and thorough in showing us around. Off street parking was excellent, with spaces for our 3 cars. There were 7 in our party, including six adults and a teenager. Sleeping was a little tricky for us since the bedrooms held 6 and the teenager didn't want to sleep on the living room couch. It worked, due to everyone's flexibility. Also, the trundle bed, where my husband and I slept, would not have worked for everyone, but we are pretty nimble. Overall, it was a charming home.

Absolute 5-Star Gem!

We have stayed in many properties over the years and this home is the best by far! The owner met us personally upon arrival and showed us around the house. She provided every convenience imaginable for our stay (slippers, robes, toiletries, snacks, beverages, games, laundry, and so much more!) The historic home is newly updated and tastefully decorated with a nod to Oakland history. It has a lovely backyard with spaces for lounging, playing, and off-street parking all secured behind closing gates. The neighborhood is charming and convenient to shops and restaurants. We were in town to visit the UC Berkeley campus and will definitely return to stay here when we are next in town. Highly recommend this lovely home!

About the host

Hosted by Simone Taylor

Hi there! I'm a travelista and have lived all over the world, but will always call Oakland home. I am so proud to share the City of Oakland with new visitors and get suggestions on where I should visit in other cities/countries.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for 3 generations and means the world to me. I travel extensively around the world, and am extremely proud of my Oakland roots. I will always call this neighborhood the best of Oakland.

What makes this property unique

My house was built in 1910 and has some amazing original features like coffered ceilings, glass pocket doors, and a marble fireplace. The modern bathrooms are inspired by my love for spas and tropical locations.
