About this house rental
Super close to everything, this charming, nicely furnished Craftsman house is just a 5 minute drive from exceptional restaurants and nightlife, just 5 minutes from beautiful Lake Merritt, and just 10-15 minutes from gorgeous hiking with amazing views.
The house has 3 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. It also has two bathrooms, each with a shower over a bathtub.
Lots of original art, ranging from contemporary abstract, to unusual works from Africa.
Large high definition flat panel tv.
Parking for at least two cars, one in a garage and one across the several driveways. If it's important to you to have another garage, please inquire, as this may be possible. The garage is big enough for a large car. It is not big enough for an oversized SUV, such as an Escalade. If you have such a vehicle, it will fit parked across the three driveways, parallel to the street.
One reason the house is so private is that it is set atop a hill. This means that 50 stairs are required to reach the house. I go up and down these stairs without any trouble, sometimes with heavy furniture, but those who have problems with stairs should seek another option.
Please note that there is a downstairs 1 bedroom unit that is sometimes rented out. This unit has a completely separate entrance, far from the main house's front door.
If you have pets, please let me know their weights. Charges range from $150 (under 15 pounds) to $300 per pet per month. All fur, odor and any other signs of pets must be removed by guests. Not knowing your pets, I cannot promise my vacuum etc will suffice. It is 100% guests' responsibility. Also, please note that I cannot promise that your pets can't escape the outdoor fences. Some pets are great diggers, jumpers, etc.
Thanks!

Lovely stay, spacious house with more of a vintage aesthetic. Ej, the host, was super helpful throughout. Do note there are some stairs to get to the house, but think of it as a complimentary workout

It was a very spacious house. Good thing it had a washer and dryer.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2022
We enjoyed staying in this charming, clean, spacious house. There are big windows providing lots of natural light and the layout worked well for our family. The kitchen/eating area is large and it was convenient to have the laundry at the back of the house. The host was attentive & responded quickly to any questions we had. Garage/street parking in front of the garage is a bonus as parking can be challenging in Oakland. The house is fairly close to a freeway so it’s easy to get to Berkeley, San Francisco, Muir Woods, etc. We also enjoyed meeting the charming man who lives on the property and is transforming the hillside into a lovely, eco-friendly garden.. We hope to stay there again.

Good communication with owner. Had a few minor issues which were all addressed same day. House is clean and a 15min can from downtown Oakland.
