Nicely decorated, comfortable Oakland home. This was a perfect place for 2 couples while we were visiting our kids at Berkeley. Alli was a gracious host and very easy to communicate with. We also really enjoyed the backyard as a hangout spot and the lighting after dark. Would definitely stay here again!

Fun, well appointed home in convenient location

We had a great stay here, a good space for a family like ours and conveniently located near the extended family we were visiting. We will have to come back in better weather to appreciate the outdoor area!

We stayed 4 nights during the Super Bowl and had a fabulous time. The home was decorated beautifully. Great use of color. It was a calming retreat to come back to after all our daily activities. At one point, we couldn’t find any potholders but they purchased & delivered some asap. I asked about the neighborhood & transportation before our arrival and Allison provided so much help. Exceptional service. I look forward to staying here again when I come back to the area to visit. Thank you very much!

Love the backyard!

This was a perfect place for my family to stay during my daughter's graduation from UC Berkeley. Restaurants were close and not as crowded as they were closer to campus. We got uber eats sandwiches after her grad and had the best time in the cute, sunny backyard.

Great location and beautiful home

Easy to check in and check out. The bar area was adorable and really made it feel like vacation. Great backyard that’s shared with the renters upstairs. We actually ended up making friends with the visitors upstairs and hanging with them for a bit. Great part of oakland that’s quiet but close to a lot of fun spots if you want to explore. Super clean. Easy street parking. Communication with owner was great as well. Definitely recommend.
