Basic studio apartment (not a vacation rental)

The host is extremely nice but this property consists of five studio apartments on the second floor. Mine was on the narrow driveway that leads to treacherous parking behind the building, and noises reverberated up from the driveway. Not a good place for your dog. A homeless person slept on the porch of the adjoining insurance agency. The Location is good.

Basic Sublet in Great Location

I stayed at this property for about 5 weeks in between living situations. The location is incredible - right off Grand Ave, near Lake Merritt, and walking distance to other neighborhoods and parks. The apartment is very basic - plain, minimal furniture, and the decorations are old and awkward. There were a lot of missing kitchen items that I was able to quickly get from the building manager but they should've been there from the start. There's decent natural light although the window just looks out at a building along a quiet alley. The building is fairly quiet but there's lots of transit / other subletters, so it's probably dependent on who else is staying while you are there. Overall, the place was tolerable and did the job but I wouldn't rent again since it's not worth the price for how minimal and uninviting the place is.

3 week stay

The apartment is in a great location. Wonderful restaurants nearby. Lake Merritt. The parking was great. The owner was very responsive to our requests. The only complaint was the WiFI was unstable. I needed it for work so it was a problem when it quit in mid conference call.

Great location, comfortable lodging

This was our second time staying in the building. The host is very warm and welcoming. If you enjoy the Lake Merritt area as we do, the location is ideal. We left our car in the parking place and walked to our daughter’s apartment. The bed is good and the apartment is surprisingly quiet for being off of a busy street.

Comfortable and welcoming Grand Lake studio

My husband and I had a very nice stay at the Grand Lake studio. It is situated off of Grand Avenue, providing easy walking access to a fun neighborhood and Lake Merritt (it will be even more fun post-pandemic!). The studio is removed enough from the busy street, so it was quiet. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, cups, cutlery, and basic pots and pans. The double bed is comfortable, and there are two couches as well as a kitchen table for seating. The host, Welela, was gracious and welcoming. She met with our daughter ahead of time so she could view the studio, and throughout our month-long stay responded promptly and generously to every question or request we had. We look forward to staying there again next time we visit our daughter in Oakland.
