This is a sweet apartment with a private backyard. The hosts were very welcoming. Great place for us -- a couple with a dog -- to call home for a week. We love this part of Oakland!

This was a cute spot and convenient! You essentially have your own apartment with a shower, stove, microwave, fridge and washer and dryer etc. You have plenty of privacy but the hosts are easily accessible if you need anything. It's walking distance to some really good restaurants off Telegraph (you have to walk under the freeway) or if you catch a Lyft the ride was typically less than 10 for a lot of places nearby. It was a great place to stay overall, definitely recommend!

We travel to Oakland really regularly from Southern CA, and this was the most well-appointed rental we’ve ever used! And! Bonus that we could bring our cat (for a really reasonable additional price) who gets separation anxiety with us, and she also was so comfortable. Needless to say, we all had an excellent stay: comfortable beds (including the futon), nice shower, all the appliances you could ever need in the kitchen (air fryer!), and really thoughtful selection of books, games, and puzzles. Parking on the street was never an issue, the neighbors were friendly, BART is nearby, checkin/checkout was super easy, and communication was always readily available with the host. Will definitely stay here again in our travels if it’s available!

We had a very comfortable stay. We had two in the bedroom and one on the futon. The futon was quite firm and getting it made up for sleeping took some effort without a correctly sized fitted sheet, but the one of us sleeping on it slept soundly. Smoke alarms are all linked for both the unit and main residence which caused a surprise. My socks did get some pet hair on them and there was pet hair on a few blankets. Overall positive experience & would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Charlene Khoo

Host profile image
We are a blended, multi-cultural, queer family who call Oakland home! Charlene is from Singapore, loves her four-legged besties and checking out all the latest foodie spots the Bay has to offer. Milo has deep pride for Marseille, France where he was born, playing soccer on weekends and indulging in a good reality show. Though neither of us can claim to be Oakland natives, we love our little Bay Area bubble and enjoy welcoming new friends and visitors to all our happy places here.

Why they chose this property

We're on a relatively quiet street with kind, low key neighbors. We’re just a few blocks from MacArthur BART, a kid and dog friendly pizza place with outdoor seating and heaters, a cute spot for juice and delicious Yemeni lattes, and just a few more blocks from the heart of Temescal, which has some of the best restaurants and bars in town, including a couple of James Beard and Michelin nominated spots!

What makes this property unique

Our rental apartment gives you total privacy with your own bedroom, living/dining, bathroom and kitchen, plus brand new, modern amenities like heat in colder months and air in the warmer ones. You get your own washer/dryer, dishwasher and high-speed WiFi if you're planning to work from home. Your pets can enjoy our sunny, shared yard and enjoy leisurely strolls around our quiet neighborhood.
