Fun, well appointed home in convenient location

We had a great stay here, a good space for a family like ours and conveniently located near the extended family we were visiting. We will have to come back in better weather to appreciate the outdoor area!

Sweet apartment in Bushrod

Nicely appointed, comfortable foam beds, easy check-in, great communication with owner. Located in a quiet neighborhood in Bushrod, not Temescal. Definitely recommend!

Great location and beautiful home

Easy to check in and check out. The bar area was adorable and really made it feel like vacation. Great backyard that’s shared with the renters upstairs. We actually ended up making friends with the visitors upstairs and hanging with them for a bit. Great part of oakland that’s quiet but close to a lot of fun spots if you want to explore. Super clean. Easy street parking. Communication with owner was great as well. Definitely recommend.
