Oakland

"Our family of 6 adults and 1 baby stayed for 9 nights. The layout of the house worked well for the most part. A baby gate was necessary to block steep staircase leading to downstairs room. The common areas ( living rm, dining rm, kitchen) are comfortably furnished and equipped with all the comforts of home. This rental provides everything from Wifi to kiddie toys to laundry detergent. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms clean. Downstairs room a bit musty smelling. Full size washer and dryer convenient! The surrounding outdoor space is pleasantly landscaped with flowers and has several seating areas on the deck and patio to enjoy views of the Bay and for smokers. We used the ping pong table but the wooden hot tub was not what we expected. Overall, this is a lovely house to rent. You feel like the owners really opened their HOME to you. We were welcomed with a bottle of California wine sitting by the notebook containing all the information needed for our stay. Purpose of our visit was to attend a family reunion so the area is familiar to us. We all enjoyed viewing the beautiful sunsets, the fog rolling in, the landmarks across the Bay. Thanks for the memories!"
