About this property
Epic, gorgeous, huge historic, Victorian mansion - easily sleeps 40+
The mansion has been used for dozens of photo and video shoots by Williams Sonoma, Cost Plus, Loews, Gumps, Pottery Barn and others. As all this implies, the property is just beautiful, with grand rooms, and towering ceilings.
We have done a huge amount of redecorating in the past few months, and the Mansion is more spectacular than ever. We can now provide at least 11 bedrooms. There are more in the house, but they may be in the process of decorating. If you need more, please ask if they are available before you book. Also, I only provide the number of bedrooms required, to avoid confusion for the cleaning people as to what rooms they should clean.
Here's an overview of the mansion (again, depending on your needs and redecorating status).
Entry Floor, all definitely available now (entered one flight of stairs from the - Big Kitchen, two dining rooms, two foyers, and living room. Five bedrooms. One bedroom is VERY large, with a King bed, and lots of seating. The other four have queen beds. This floor has two full bathrooms, and they are definitely available. The Kitchen has many pots and pans, blender, plates and bowls, glasses, cutting boards, cutlery, and microwave.
Second Floor (at least 5 bedrooms available NOW) - the main bedroom floor: Nine bedrooms, all with Queen beds. It also has four bathrooms, all with showers.
Top Floor - Five bedrooms, all with Queen beds. And two bathrooms, both with showers. This floor also tons of comfortable lounging space, with at least five couches, PLUS three twin beds.
Outdoors:
There are vast, beautiful outdoor spaces, with several furnished areas, in which to lounge and just enjoy the great many sunny days in Oakland (far sunnier than SF). It is VERY IMPORTANT not to be outside socializing (or otherwise making noise outside) after 9 pm. This is a residential neighborhood and this is required by law.
Interaction with guests
I love helping people have a great time in our beloved Oakland and nearby San Francisco. Please ask me anything you like. At the same time, I know many guests will prefer just having privacy.
Other things to note
Please see additional people charges. Those charges also apply to guests who don't sleep at the mansion. They will be reduced if people will be there for only a few hours.

I'm from Oakland and lived a lot of other places before returning. I love it more than ever!
Why they chose this property
The mansion is one of the finest examples of interior design and architecture that can be rented anywhere. Most of the house is full of fine art and elegant decor. The top floor (of three) is more casual, with exposed rafters and a closet full of games.
