Had an amazing stay here! The place was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Check-in was smooth, and the host was super responsive and helpful the whole time. The space had everything we needed and made the trip feel relaxing from start to finish. Definitely would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
This was a cute spot and convenient! You essentially have your own apartment with a shower, stove, microwave, fridge and washer and dryer etc. You have plenty of privacy but the hosts are easily accessible if you need anything. It's walking distance to some really good restaurants off Telegraph (you have to walk under the freeway) or if you catch a Lyft the ride was typically less than 10 for a lot of places nearby. It was a great place to stay overall, definitely recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Charlene Khoo
We are a blended, multi-cultural, queer family who call Oakland home! Charlene is from Singapore, loves her four-legged besties and checking out all the latest foodie spots the Bay has to offer. Milo has deep pride for Marseille, France where he was born, playing soccer on weekends and indulging in a good reality show. Though neither of us can claim to be Oakland natives, we love our little Bay Area bubble and enjoy welcoming new friends and visitors to all our happy places here.
Why they chose this property
