Nice stay.

Had a great stay at this home and appreciate how kind and communicative the owner was before and throughout our trip. The place could use a deep clean, but otherwise fit all of our needs. Thank you to Laura for sharing your home.

First class place and first class host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our month at Laura's lovely home. It is exceptionally beautifully furnished. Completely unfussy, uncluttered ... just like her photos show. Everything was high quality, from the kitchen (important matters first!) to the comfy beds and living room furniture, the lovely accessories and wall art from her travels to Mexico, and fabulous plants in every room. She was wonderfully friendly, helpful and a "certified" rapid responder. Thanks, Laura, for a terrific experience. Best, Geri & George

Home away from home

My husband and I took our 2 teen age kids to visit family in Oakland over spring break. We visit Oakland frequently and have stayed at hotels and at my mother-in-laws. We choose this location as it is very close to my husbands mothers house. This was PERFECT. The kitchen is AMAZING! We cooked breakfast at home everyday and picnicked every afternoon. Master bedroom is HUGE. Quaint breakfast nook as well as dining room. The house looks small from the outside but spacious inside. In Oakland square footage is a premium! Not only great location for our family, but also great neighborhood in Oakland. Very easy to get on major freeways and roads. Hiking nearby. Close to Lakeshore neighborhood with very nice shops, yoga studios, restaurants. We had a great time and the home was a big part of it.

Montclair area of Oakland

This is a lovely Spanish style old house in a beautiful safe area, very close to the Piedmont border, and easily accessible to Piedmont Avenue, Montclair village, and Rockridge. The delightful owner met us and explained things to us when we arrived. The house is a treasure trove of beautiful things to look at and use. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, and the huge master bedroom with King bed and expansive views. The main bathroom was a pleasure, the old tiles preserved, and full of charming details. Our daughter had the Queen room and loved it for the same reasons. Our son and his girlfriend had the downstairs retreat and enjoyed the privacy and comfortable bed. As the owner warned us, the downstairs bathroom is work in progress, fine toilet and sink, but unworkable shower, [need hand-held, to aim the water away when getting in, and a single lever thermostatic faucet]. Easy Internet, Living room full of sofas, great TV, lots of objets d'arte to enjoy. The kitchen was lovely with super gas stove, great fridge, and well equipped with good pots and pans, leading to a pretty sun room, and again, pretty views of flowering trees. There were thoughtful touches such as basic ingredients and seasoning.
