Oakland, California
This 1927 Arts & Crafts Mediterranean-style house is wonderful for relaxing and for entertaining, with its.large livingroom and separate dining room (expandable table to seat c. 12). The kitchen is good-sized and well-equipped. A sunroom at the back is adjacent to a separate breakfast room with sliding glass door to cozy deck overlooking Asian-style landscaped, enclosed pocket garden. Master bedroom offers quiet air conditioning for sound sleeping. The second bedroom also works as a good-sized office with French doors opening onto a small balcony in front (this no doubt functioned as a sleeping porch 'back in the day').
The house is. nicely located: very close to Piedmont Avenue's restaurants and shops as well as the emerging "gourmet ghetto" in Oakland (either side of upper Broadway); just up from an expansive Whole Foods; just above Lake Merritt. The MacArthur BART station is not far away, and easy access to the 580 fwy puts San Francisco within easy reach and provides a really expeditious route to Berkeley as well as points South, without subjecting residents to fwy noise.
Keywords: well-located, fully equipped, beautifully detailed Arts and Crafts, air-conditioned sleeping.
Our family of 4 stayed a week in May for our daughter's graduation. It's a beautiful clean home, bright, nicely decorated, with great spaces, complete with appliances including W+D. Nice space for 4 people, with driveway parking, and easy access to the freeway. Near Lake Merritt, supermarket, cathedral and restaurants. Sandria was a helpful and responsive host. Although we arrived very late, check-in was easy via a lockbox. Highly recommended if staying in the Oakland/Berkeley area. If you're planning to work remotely, the WiFi was very slow.
My mom and I stayed here while visiting my brother. The house is a gem! Decorated beautifully, has a large kitchen with everything we needed to prepare food. Every space was comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and located close to amenities. It is also located close to BART. There is a small driveway for parking if you have a car. I would definitely stay here again!
Very good property for a longer stay, well fitted for home use.
House and location were great. We would take a morning walk around Lake Merritt. Spent alot of time in the sun room off the kitchen. Just really nice.
We just returned from a two week trip to Oakland to visit family and stayed in this wonderful Vrbo. The house was terrific - very private, clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was located in a terrific neighborhood, close to whatever we needed. We enjoyed relaxing and reading in the back yard. We will definitely stay at this home again for future visits to the Bay area. Thank you to Sandria for sharing her Oakland home with us.
Communication was lacking the first night and we had to stay in San Francisco, not fun at 12:00 am, 3:00 am our time. But once in the house, and we washed our bedding, we felt very comfortable. After a night of sight seeing - there really isn't any comfortable place to relax and watch a movie. The coffee pot is on the small size and the mattresses could be a more comfortable. The home is very time stamped.
adequate but could be superior with a few updates
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property... very homey for us, even as we “sheltered in place”. A great cook’s kitchen, wonderful formal rooms and a charming, secluded backyard. Great walks in the area, and close access to all services... Perfect!
I had a great 2 week stay here at the Frisbie Property!!! This was very Central to Oakland And SF Airport's, The Oakland Coliseum for Raider's Game's, Close to Lake Merritt, close enough to Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge and SF. Sandria was very helpful and replied very quickly when I had a question. I would love to visit and stay again!!! Thank you Oakland and Sandria for the amazing stay!
