Phenomenal place. Location can't be beat, space was great and more kid-friendly than anywhere we've stayed. Really felt like staying at a friend's place rather than a pseudo-hotel experience like most nowadays. Host was great too in communicating and helping with some of our special requests. We come to Oakland regularly and this will be our first choice for where to stay, going forward.

We all absolutely loved this property. I just about had to drag my sister in law out of it. Very comfortable with a nice walkable distance to the lake. The decor is absolutely lovely and it is much bigger than I expected. Easy trips via ride share into and out of San Francisco. The owners are very responsive. We will definitely book again if we travel back that way.

Great location for Oakland visit to see my son. Loved the uniqueness of Carlos’ place. Lovely neighborhood to just walk around in and admiring the care and work people put into their gardens. Close to Lake Merrit and restaurants in the east bay. Took the BART into the city for Chinese New Year parade and a show.

Best VRBO ever!

My husband and I were in the area visiting relatives. The location was perfect. We would have been satisfied with that as long as the dwelling was adequate. But we were thrilled even as we walked up the porch steps: fragrant blossoms in the lovely landscaped front garden. Excellent taste in style blend with comfort in this gorgeous flat. The natural light brightens everything and the views are stellar- What a backyard! We were sad to leave our beloved relatives-- but just as sad to leave this amazing VRBO

A home away from home

This was the second time we stayed at this home which may be all you need to know. It's clean with plenty of room to spread out and most of the conveniences one would expect. It's close (walking distance of about a 1/2 mile with a steep return climb) to shopping and dining areas and to public transportation should you choose not to use a car to get around. Carlos and his family are very warm and welcoming, and it was good to know that they were there just in case (but there were no problems, happily). We highly recommend this rental and hope to stay there again when we next visit Oakland.

We found the view of the garden quite peaceful as we ate breakfast each morning. The kids enjoyed reading the many books and playing the games during their downtime. Beds were comfy and bathroom was clean. Carlos was friendly and responsive. We look forward to staying here again.
