Kismet brought us to Stephanie’s place for our week-long visit in Oakland. Our original Airbnb fell through just as she had a cancellation, and we were so lucky to have snagged it. The house is perfectly convenient to 580, which will get you anywhere you need fairly quickly. It’s close to the Laurel, Diamond, and Lakeshore districts which have tons of food, shops, and attractions. The house has many comfortable beds and lots of space. They also generously let you use their driveway while staying, which is really helpful when navigating tricky Oakland street parking rules. We would love to stay again!
