Located in the friendly Cleveland Heights neighborhood of Oakland, this private studio cottage is a short walk to Lake Merritt, great restaurants, shops, and easy transportation into San Francisco. It comfortably suits 1–2 guests, with a maximum of 3 — the space is intentionally cozy, so if you're a larger group, please double check the layout works for you before booking.
The cottage sits in a private green oasis, surrounded by fruit trees and a landscaped lawn. Inside you'll find a plush queen mattress, a fully-equipped kitchen with stainless steel pots and pans, a large closet, and a clean bathroom with a spacious shower. High-speed wifi and Fire TV (Netflix, Prime, Hulu — with your own login) are included. The space is light and airy with reliable heat and A/C. We leave 24 hours between guests for enhanced cleaning.
The neighborhood is quiet and walkable, yet close to everything Oakland and the Bay Area offer — Lake Merritt's 5K perimeter path, Grand Lake's restaurants and cafés, Jack London Square, Downtown, and Chinatown. A short bus or BART ride reaches Temescal and Berkeley, and the express TransBay bus to San Francisco is five minutes away.
Good to know before booking:
- Guests must be 25 or older.
- There is a $500 security deposit, refunded after your stay.
- The walkway from the sidewalk to the gate has several steps, some without a handrail, and there are no grab bars in the shower — worth noting if anyone in your group has mobility needs.
- Washer and dryer are available for guests staying 30+ days.
