3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with great art and craftsman architecture.

Lovely stay, spacious house with more of a vintage aesthetic. Ej, the host, was super helpful throughout. Do note there are some stairs to get to the house, but think of it as a complimentary workout

It was a very spacious house. Good thing it had a washer and dryer.

We enjoyed staying in this charming, clean, spacious house. There are big windows providing lots of natural light and the layout worked well for our family. The kitchen/eating area is large and it was convenient to have the laundry at the back of the house. The host was attentive & responded quickly to any questions we had. Garage/street parking in front of the garage is a bonus as parking can be challenging in Oakland. The house is fairly close to a freeway so it’s easy to get to Berkeley, San Francisco, Muir Woods, etc. We also enjoyed meeting the charming man who lives on the property and is transforming the hillside into a lovely, eco-friendly garden.. We hope to stay there again.

Large crack on front steps that increased in size during our 5 night stay. Steps appear to be separating from the house. Owner asked us to delay arrival due to flooding on the property which we did - unfortunately. Property interior as shown on website does not resemble actual furniture, which was minimal. House poorly cleaned at check in. Hair clumps in bathtub, black mold on bath mats. No extra garbage bags, no dishwasher detergent, highly diluted dish soap, difficult to find unstained pillow. Large bedroom off LR had a moldy odor. Wet items in clothes washer upon arrival, and dryer full of clothing. Inadequate towels, three wash cloths. Bedsheets smelled musty. Went to Target and bought linens for use during stay. Dried blood stain found on mattress cover. One ice cube tray, no pepper or other condiments, but did have one container of table salt with label ripped off. Police in front of house for several hours on first night there as a stolen car had been dropped off at the corner in front of house. Garage is essential, but just fit our Subaru outback. In years of using HomeAway and VRBO never had an experience to match this one.

We had a great time staying here! The rooms were all very comfortable. Two bathrooms made it easy for my friends and I to share. The living room was very spacious, we brought in an extra air mattress and it fit perfectly in the living room. Also very grateful there was extra bedding and blankets provided. The kitchen had mostly everything we needed. All the appliances worked great. There is a market store a block away, so we shopped for anything else we needed. Also a 5-10 minute drive to grocery stores like Trader Joes and Safeway. The flight of stairs did not bother us since we were all capable of handling it. It was very easy to find the house because of these stairs! The garage is definitely for a smaller car. We had a large SUV so we parked on the street. There was always parking on the street but of course late at night, you might need to park a little bit farther but not too much! Lastly, the downstairs neighbor is very friendly. He was respectful as in distance and just gave friendly waves. Thank you to EJ for being a great host. Communication was great and all the information was very helpful. Would definitely book this home again!

We couldn’t have been happier! It was the perfect space for our family of 7 to enjoy some family time before dropping off my oldest at college. Great location with easy access to the interstate. Clean property and friendly neighbors. We especially enjoyed the corner market where we could pick up some food and essentials just a block away. I would absolutely book this rental again!

Communicating with EJ was very easy; quick responses to any/all questions. House was exactly what we needed. Perfect location & very convenient. The steps were only tough the first time!

We traveled to the Bay Area to take our son back to UC Berkeley and stayed here thanksgiving week. It is a nice home with comfortable beds and an eat in kitchen that worked well for our thanksgiving meal. Because of Covid, we didn’t go out but it is close to shops and restaurants near Lake Merritt and about 10 minutes to Berkeley. There is also a Safeway and a Trader Joe’s nearby. Owner was very responsive and helpful. This is a very good deal for this area and a nice place to stay.

Good communication with owner. Had a few minor issues which were all addressed same day. House is clean and a 15min can from downtown Oakland.

Everything went fine, once we got the code to enter the property. Somehow we missed the email with details but E.J. responded quickly to our inquiry
