About this apartment rental
Tranquil Private Garden Apartment With Easy Bay Area Access
Welcome to your peaceful retreat in Oakland. This private garden apartment offers a quiet, comfortable stay with its own entrance, thoughtful amenities, and a serene setting across from the beautiful Mills College campus. Ideal for solo travelers or couples seeking rest, privacy, and easy access to the Bay Area.
Inside, the apartment is designed for relaxed, practical living. Enjoy morning coffee with garden views, prepare light meals using the induction burner, microwave, mini fridge, electric kettle, and coffee maker, and unwind in the evening on the queen-size bed topped with a plush comfort-top mattress. The bathroom features a striking antique clawfoot tub, perfect for soaking after a long day, along with fresh towels, soap, and a hairdryer. A spacious walk-in closet makes settling in easy, even for longer stays.
Step outside into a shared garden filled with herbs, flowering plants, and mature fruit trees, including lemons, limes, oranges, figs, and loquats. Quiet seating areas and winding paths lead to views of a ravine and creek, offering a rare sense of calm in an urban setting.
Please note. This property features steps and elevation changes and may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations. As this is a natural environment, you may occasionally encounter spiders.
Practical comforts include on-site laundry, easy street parking, reliable Wi-Fi, and quick access to Highway 580 and Highway 13, making travel to downtown Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, and the Bay Bridge simple and efficient. A nearby bus line connects to BART for car-free exploration.
The surrounding neighborhood is peaceful and tree-lined, perfect for morning walks. Mills College is directly across the street and offers scenic paths and access to a beautiful public pool surrounded by redwoods.
This apartment is best suited for guests who value quiet, nature, and a well-maintained space. No pets, no smoking or vaping, and no additional guests. Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM.
We look forward to hosting you and sharing this special garden retreat.

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This is a nice little 2 room apartment with a beautifully curated garden in the backyard. Very close and convenient to Northeastern University (Mills College). Would definitely rebook if I have reason to be back in that area for a stay again.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2018
Owners did a good job keeping the place private and away from the street. Back yard is nicely kept. Clean Place. Neighborhood is just o.k. at best. Would be nice to have an iron and TV.
