20 Reviews of Property 247117 in Oakland, California

I loved this location and the owners were quick to respond and provided just the right amount of attention (not too much or too little). I would have given this a five star except the unit could do with a little bit of repair. Cleanliness was not a problem, but the unit is a bit older and it could use a good once over with paint a good deep clean. The unit is in their house but you have a private entrance and it is pretty quiet and away from the street. Sleeping was no problem. Parking on the street was quite easy and never had to park more than a block away (and frequently closer than that). The unit has a large bedroom/living area, a separate bathroom, a dining/entrance way, and a mini kitchen. The kitchen, bathroom, and linens were fully stocked and there is a whole foods nearby which was great.I would definitely stay there again and I would recommend others to this location as well. And the price was perfect!

We visited our daughter over Thanksgiving and had a very nice stay here. It's a very nice, roomy
space with the convenience of being blocks from the lake. Perfect!

This rental was conveniently located near some great restaurants in Oakland as well as several BART stations. The apartment was very clean and quite comfortable. The owner was very helpful and a delight to work with. Would definitely recommend this apartment as a great place to stay while visiting Oakland.

My wife + I were in town for my son's wedding with a couple days to site-see. This place was PERFECT. Clean, comfortable + convenient. Not only was the apartment as comfortable as being home, the back yard was equally as relaxing. I would have no problem renting here again or recommending it to others.

This apartment was so comfortable and relaxing - did not want to leave. So appreciated that the place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Right at home coming back to this peaceful haven after taking the BART back from a day of work or sightseeing in busy San Fran. Perfect for walks around Lake Merritt - the local area has many interesting things to see too. Kitchen was well equipped - even has a moka for espresso in the mornings. Hope to visit again!

This one bedroom unit is very clean, spacious and functional. The bedroom is very large with a queen size bed and a couch for relaxing. The kitchen has basic supplies with a small refrigerator and basic appliances (stove, microwave and coffee maker).

We used the unit as a home base while visiting family in Oakland. It worked out greate because we could have breakfast in our unit and then walk down to Lakeshore Dr., Grande or Lake Merritt until the family was ready to pick us up for the days activities. This is a unit that we will rent again.

This apartment is relatively large, including a bedroom, kitchen, hall/eating area, and a bathroom. We have twice enjoyed staying here while visiting our son's family in the Lake Merritt area. Lake Merritt is a historic Oakland area, with good food, shopping, and wonderful walking. The apartment is about a mile from the entrance to Interstate 580, excellent for going into San Francisco or going east. On our last trip we had a car, and were always able to park on the street, although not always in the same block. On our first trip, we used the public transit & bus system, quite doable for people who enjoy some walking. To access the apartment, at the rear of a house, we walked up the driveway on a hill. This might be a problem for someone who has trouble walking, but was not an issue for us. Inside, the apartment is well stocked and clean. The kitchen includes needed appliances, cooking pots, utensils, etc. and was even supplied with fresh coffee. The bathroom was supplied with small shampoos, etc. Since the apartment is so large, with spaces that can be closed off with doors, it would also be suitable for a couple with a small child. We noticed a Graco bed is provided.

The good: clean; roomy b/r, lots of amenities (closet w/ plenty of hangers, place for shoes); mirror; hair dryer, misc. toiletries in bathroom cabinet; comfortable (double) bed w/ nice sheets/comforter; great t.v.; very handy kitchen (although almost no room for ice in mini-fridge). Quiet neighborhood, easy access to main streets. Very reasonably priced for SF/Oakland area.
The bad: wi-fi didn't work at all. Apt. was extremely chilly (esp. early a.m.) with no ability for renter to control temp.; no elec. outlet in bathroom; separate spigots for hot/cold water (quaint, but impractical). But worst, one has to carry one's luggage up a narrow, steeply graded driveway to the back of the house where the apt. is -- with two cars in the driveway that essentially blocked passage. Very dark at night walking back there. It needs some outdoor lighting. (Back door light bulb was also burned out; couldn't find another.) Not recommended for persons w/ disabilities or seniors because of the last two items mentioned (driveway and lighting).
