We had a wonderful stay at this property! Incredibly clean, stocked with thoughtful amenities, very spacious, and in a great location. Very easy to get around on the bus from the nearby bus stop and walkable to a few restaurants, shops, and cafes. Our host was responsive and helpful, and a pleasure to communicate with. We can’t wait to visit Oakland/Berkeley again and stay here!
This was a wonderful place to stay. I really enjoyed meeting the host and her father. I highly recommend staying there if you need a place to stay in Oakland.
Our host was very friendly and accommodating. Location is great! The public transportation system is within walking distance.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this glowing review. It was a pleasure having you stay at my space.
The review helps other guests find a place that fits their needs beyond what is in the pictures and the amenities listed in the profile. So your personal experience is so valuable.
My old property management company started having technical problems managing this account around the time of your stay. This is the reason for the delayed response. They handled almost everything for me including giving and responding to reviews that I was not even aware of until today.
Happy New Year. Hope to see you soon.
The space was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped for what we wanted. Available on street parking was close enough,

The host was very welcoming and responded quickly to any queries I had during my stay. The place was very cozy and well laid-out: lots of pillows and towels, great water pressure, comfortable bed, strong wifi, and plenty of space for work and relaxing. I also loved the fully stocked pantry of coffee, tea, and creamers. The only minor negative was some noise from traffic on the street at night.
Very convenient location, host very nice, very clean and quite. Thank you

I really do listen to feedback from the guests messages and reviews and making adjustments accordingly to improve the guests experience. I hope that the next time you come and stay I can get a 10/10 extraordinarily excellent on everything. Happy New Year hope to see you soon.!
My family and I stayed for a week. Perfect location, very safe and free from homeless people. Very quiet and peaceful. I call it a “powerhouse” because it has everything needed to make your stay comfortable. The host is emotionally intelligent and cared about us. It is also a walking distance from the bus stop, a grocery store and nomad cafe. The food at this cafe is very good. Original coffee etc. There’s also a Peruvian restaurant next to this apartment and their food is very good. I got the rice and beef.I will stay there again anytime I visit.
We were very pleased with the place. It was as advertised, with an extremely comfortable main bed and extra spaces for kids. We found the bedding and towels to be excellent and ample for our family. The neighborhood is busy, but safe and quite interesting, with much to see and do even in walking distance. On street parking was no problem, even with our full size truck. Great communication and easy check in and out.

Matt I am so happy to receive the your positive 5 star feedback especially on the extremely comfortable bed.☺️ I have considered getting a mattress topper for people who like a very soft bed. A couple of times while waiting a long time for those plusher towels to get dry so I could finish the cleaning I have thought to myself maybe I should get thinner ones. I always want my guest to have whatever I would want and more. I was nervous about your comfort with the number of people and the size of my space when you asked me would it be big enough before check in. I was praying that parking would be as good as it usually is for us and our truck when we are there. I am so glad you were intrigued with the quirkiness of Bushrod, (North Oakland/Berkeley) the Temescal District definitely has a lot to offer. Because of your review, I’m thinking I should post some pictures of the neighborhood in the gallery of my listing. Maybe you could message me what was most interesting to you.👋Look forward to having you again soon.
This placed was filled with amenities, easy parking, close to all the things on our list for the weekend. Perfect for two nights for the four of us. My 11yo niece stayed in the loft and really enjoyed it. The sleeping areas are separated by a wall but no doors or rooms. It is basically a very well thought out studio space with a loft. There was enough privacy for our needs, we were still all able to have our own space, but nothing really private. Anything we forgot was found in the cupboards, well stocked for sure. The host was very communicative, responsive, and friendly and check in was easy.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. The account of your experience in the space will be really helpful to other travelers to know what to expect. It may help someone to decide if my space will work for them in their privacy needs even though I don’t have rooms with a door.
It was such a pleasure having your family stay at my space. I really hope you choose me the next time you are in town.
Although we needed to leave early for an emergency at home, we throughly enjoyed our stay. Although it sits on a busy street, it was relatively quiet and private with the privacy gate. Everything needed was provided, down to the little details that were appreciated (q-tips, sound machine, and weighted blanket to name a few). It was very clean and well maintained. We hope to stay again next time we visit.

I am so happy to see you say, " We hope to stay again next time we visit." Happy New Year, take care and I look forward to your next stay.
High ceilings and thoughtful design make this studio rental spacious. As indicated already, spotless upkeep. Easy to feel relaxed and safely at home. We’ll go back.
