The Neighborhood:
This is stately "old Oakland." Neighborhood was designed in the 1920's by the Olmsted Brothers whose father designed Central Park and Golden Gate Park. Each house on the street is unique... story-book cottages, Tudor, Mediterranean and Spanish style homes. Beautiful, mature trees line the winding street. Illuminated at night by original street lamps. Trestle Glen was named for the trestle bridge that once carried the trolley line to this neighborhood which was a popular weekend recreational area then.
Getting Around:
Three-minute drive to Lakeshore shopping area with many shops and restaurants. Walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Oakland. The Historic Grand Lake Theater, one of the majestic theaters from the Golden Age of Hollywood where on some nights the Wurlitzer is played before the previews. One of our favorites is Belanico, they have their own chef who changes the menu every few months to keep it fresh and unique.
* 10 min to downtown Oakland
* 15 min to UC Berkeley
* 20 min to San Francisco
* 10 minutes to incredible hikes in the Oakland hills
Other Things to Note:
No small refrigerator but a refrigerator drawer and a freezer drawer are in place.
Note: Parking is on my side of the street with car facing uphill. There is usually a spot within one or two houses.
We only have Netflix and Amazon Prime for the TV.
Please Note: A processing fee applies to all reservations. This fee is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation, regardless of the timing or reason for the cancellation. We encourage guests to review all reservation details carefully before booking.
