Sunny Family Friendly 2 Bd1 Ba Sleeps 6, Safe, Fun & Walkable Grand Lake Oakland

Amenities were great! We traveled with kids so they definitely were entertained. Host was extremely great with communication and helping if needed :)

This was my second stay at this ideal Grand Lake property, and it has become my home away from home. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating with special requests, and so quick to respond! I adore this spacious 2 bedroom beauty with the gorgeous bay window view. There is no need to ever drive, everything you could possibly want is within walking distance, and the nearest BART station is just a couple miles away and a very short uber ride. This property is consistently clean, quiet, cozy, and convenient, and the neighborhood is a delight to explore. I am so grateful for this lovely property and hope to continue to visit regularly!

Loved our stay! The location is walking distance to everything, and rhe neighborhood is lovely. This is a beautiful home, bright, clean, and completely charming. The owner was respinsive to any need. We will definitely be back, can't recommend this home highly enough!

Great place! Driveway is tricky but that’s the only downside. Excellent spot for kids with lots of toys

Jenn was a terrific host, very responsive and accommodating. Property was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet, and accessing the unit was no problem using instructions sent for check-in. RE: previous reviews bringing up the bathroom window - everything was fine while I stayed. WiFi worked well, easy walking access to farmer's market, shops, restaurants, and lake. If I need a place to stay the next time I visit Oakland, I'll be checking first to see if this rental is available. Highly recommend.

We not only enjoyed the apartment, but we also were pleased with it’s close location to restaurants, the Grand Lake Theater, and shopping. The neighborhood is very walkable, or ride-shares were always available. The host was helpful and responsive

The apartment is in a safe, lovely, walkable neighborhood. Everything about the description is accurate. The beds were comfy and the remodeled bathroom checks all the boxes. The apartment has a host of items that made traveling with little kids so much easier. There is a travel crib, toys, coloring items, and more. The driveway is narrow so only use if you have the skills of a valet. Parking on the street might take a minute but doable. The only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is that one of the windows in the bathroom doesn’t actually lock, which we realized toward the end of our stay.

We stayed at this property twice at the bookends of our vacation since we were flying out of SFO. The property is located near some great restaurants and Trader Joe's is just down the street for easy groceries. There was plenty of space for our party of 6. Parking can be a bit of a hit or miss. It is on a very steep hill and the driveway is too narrow for most modern cars, but we were always able to find a spot nearby and felt that the area was safe. Overall great value for the location and convenience. Thank you!

Had all amenities to support 4 adults and one child under the age of one. We will be back (I think that says it all)!

So many good things to say about this wonderful abode. I stayed on the main floor (two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, living room...all very spacious with high ceilings). The moment I walked into this house, I felt at home (reminded me of my 1920 house in Seattle...in fact, this house was built in 1922 and has the same hardwood floors as my home. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything: glasses, cups, bowls, pans, microwave, gas stove, refrigerator/freezer and cute little nook table. There are spices in the cupboards and the hosts stocked a bit of food for me in the refrigerator (nice touch). The bathroom had shampoo, soap and many towels and washcloths...no need to bring your own. There is an ironing board with a new iron. The house is VERY QUIET. I slept great each of the eleven nights I stayed. Plenty of pillows and bedding. The house is located only two and a half blocks away from the small, but bustling, Grand Avenue area where there are many restaurants. Also, a great bookstore (Walden Pond Books) on Grand, just a few minute walk from the house. I also spent a lot of time at The Grand Lake move theater...again, just a few minute walk from the house. The neighborhood is super cute and very walkable. There are a lot of nice houses in the area and I felt safe walking around at all times. The owner, Jennifer, was incredibly responsive to all of my messages. She was really on top of things, answering all of my questions within minutes. A+++++++++
