Exactly what we needed
Nice, homey stay. We were visiting to attend a family member’s 60th in Oakland. The property was comfortable and quiet. We were able to reach Amber quickly when we needed to check on something with her. We will stay here again when we visit the area again.

Comfortable home in convenient location
We got a whole house!!! Have rented before, and gotten postage stamps. Loved the jacuzi tub. Interesting decorations. We were there for a weekend retreat, and stayed before and after. Was easy to walk to restaurants. Close by to Uber to events.

Great for the price in the Bay Area
Good location, but not that well stocked (e.g. no coffee maker). Needs a good deep cleaning.

Lovely and comfortable place to stay
Clean, well decorated, nice location, great communication. Minor note; could use some noise cancellation in the kitchen. There's a locked door that I am guessing leads to a stairway that connects the apartment to the lower floor where the owner stays. It's a bit loud at times (tv noise), but this issue doesn't really extend past the kitchen. Could probably hang a moving blanket over it and defeat that issue pretty easily.

Excellent place to stay!
Totally quiet, lovely older home. Lots of space with great internet. Beautifully decorated. Lots of space. Owner on site if needed. Very accommodating! No crazy post it notes saying what we could not do as in some places. Everything we needed was there. Jetted tub a plus! Close to everything. Will stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you Amber!

Not the best not the worst
When we arrived the property was ready for us. We went in and found that four rooms were locked, which is fine. But as the stay went on, one of the rooms that was locked we realized someone was in that room. They coughed a lot and the TV was pretty loud. Occasionally would hear them talking loudly as well. When someone cooked , the smell of the cooking came i to the house we were staying in. The kitchen didn’t have a lot of items to use and it felt pretty dirty. Cabinet doors were greasy. The bed was soft and comfortable and it was nice to use the bath. Struggled to find parking everytime we came back. The house is old but a cute property

Great little getaway
I mainly picked this property for the bathtub. It was a very relaxing spot and soaking in the tub was perfect. Bubble bath and bath salts were considerately provided. The sounds through the walls were noticeable but not disruptive.
