Outstanding Oakland Spot

Super convenient location close to family we were visiting. Karen was one of the friendliest, most delightful hosts I've ever stayed with in many, many years as a user of all the "BnB" platforms. Highly recommended and would book again!

Nice and clean, central location

Karen was a great host, very responsive to communication. Great location for everything we needed to do while in town. The space was clean, bed was comfy. Was great to have a full size fridge and stove/oven. Will definitely come back on our next trip!

This place was perfect for my business stay. The amenities including the kitchen, WiFi and shower made me feel at home. It was a great space to work, do homework and relax. I was able to cook like I do at home as it was close to Trader Joe’s. I found many great coffee shops and truly appreciated being able to park in the driveway. I felt safe behind the locked gate and the automatic lighting added an additional safety element. The host was very responsive when I had a question. I look forward to staying again!

This was my second time staying here and the next time I’m in town for work I will book again. The location is perfect with coffee and groceries close. The home itself is comfortable and has everything needed including a full fridge and stove to cook as well a coffee maker for my early morning at home coffee needs. The shower and fire place are my favorite amenities as well as the private and secure entrance. It’s well lighted at the gate and door which I greatly appreciate. I cannot say enough great things about it! Thank you!!

I had a very nice and relaxing stay with my partner at Karen's home in Oakland. The interior of the house was very welcoming and had really nice amenities including snack bar, coffee bar, full kitchen and dining room. The bed was super comfy and loved the entire layout of the house. The bathroom was very nice clean and organized. Will definitely be back for another stay!

Great communication

Very comfortable, extremely clean, great amenities like a full sized fridge and gas stove. We appreciated the bed with a real mattress, not a memory-foam cheap mattress that can be uncomfortable. The host was very responsive. The only issue was there's not much street parking, but that may not be a problem a lot of the time. We parked in the driveway and had to shuffle cars a couple times. Overall it's a GREAT place to stay! Thank you to a great host!

Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und mit ausreichend sauberen Bettzeug ausgestattet. Die Küchenzeile ist mit einem grossen tiefen Spülbecken, einschließlich einer praktischen Handbrause, ausgestattet. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend vorhanden. Lediglich die vorhandenen angeschmorten Kochlöffel sowie Pfannenheber waren nicht nutzbar und sollten ausgetauscht werden. Der fehlende Toaster wurde auf Wunsch sofort bereitgestellt. Der übergroße Kühlschrank bietet ausreichend Platz. Das Bad, einschließlich WC, ist ausreichend groß mit einer Dusch-/Badewanne ausgestattet. Die Überkopfbrause läßt sich nicht unabhängig von/mit der Handbrause nutzen. Im Bereich vom Einstieg in die Dusch-/Badewanne tritt nach jedem Duschvorgang Wasser auf den Boden aus. Außerdem ist es ratsam nur bei Tageslicht zu duschen, da der Bewegungsmelder vom Lichtschalter an der Tür nicht den Duschbereich erfasst! Die sehr hilfsbereite Vermieterin wurde sowohl über den Wasseraustritt als auch über die eingeschränkte Lichtschaltung beim Duschen informiert.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and kind words about the apartment! I’m glad you found the space clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I appreciate you pointing out the issues with the wooden utensils and the bathroom lighting and water leak—your observations are very helpful. I’ve already noted these and will be making improvements to ensure future guests have an even better experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I truly appreciate your communication during your stay!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Huang

Host profile image
I’m originally from Taiwan and grew up in Sacramento, but after living in many different places, I’ve found my home in Oakland, where I’ve lived for the past 10 years. My passion is design—whether it’s digital design or interior design, I love creating beautiful spaces. I’ve been running a design marketing agency from home for 17 years and own a multifamily building in Oakland. I’m excited to share my love for design and hospitality with my guests. Oakland is a vibrant city with so much to offer, from fine dining to outdoor adventures, and I’m here to help you make the most of your stay!

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of friendly neighbors and a generally quiet atmosphere. The community is welcoming, and while it’s usually peaceful, you might hear some festive fireworks during the holidays—people here love to celebrate! One of the things I enjoy most is the convenience; almost everything is just a 10-15 minute drive away, and San Francisco is close by too. It’s a great location that provides easy access to everything the Bay Area has to offer while still feeling like a cozy, comfortable place to call home.

What makes this property unique

What makes my property truly unique is its blend of classic Victorian charm with modern comfort. The high ceilings create a cool, airy space that’s both inviting and elegant. The property is well-maintained, with everything remodeled from the inside out. While the exterior retains its beautiful Victorian style, the interior features a sleek, modern design, offering the best of both worlds. It’s a space where history meets contemporary living, providing a distinctive and memorable experience for every guest.
