Hands down, this is a wonderful AirBnB! You are fortunate if you are able to book here.
The craftsman home is state of the art architecture for Oakland. It is hard to believe that you are in the middle of a metropolitan area. The property is very quiet. The garden is fantastic! I wish I had time to enjoy the grounds and the hot tub. But, now there is a reason to return.
The space was complete with every amenity that you could think of for kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and technology. For those who are light packers while traveling, you will have everything ready and waiting for you in this space. The space manual is very informative and helps you navigate your stay clearly and concisely.
The décor is wonderful, eclectic! The qualities of the bed, bedding, linens, and products are high end. So, as I alluded to before, you do not have to schlepp your favorite pillow or conditioner. The neighborhood is easy to navigate and very safe. I did not have time to enjoy the local restaurants one block away, but they are certainly easily accessible. I used the new Safeway which was close by by car for shopping. The kitchen is full service. I ate all my meals at home.
I found the hospitality to be spectacular! There were two orange scones waiting for me. And, a refrigerator containing the breakfast basics to start my first day on the correct footing. The refrigerator items were sweet and helpful, especially since I was not familiar with the area and was in no mood to waste time going on an urban foraging tour. I was able to ht the ground running the next day!
Rosemary responded to emails quickly. She was extremely helpful with area tips and suggestions.
I highly, highly recommend that you consider this AirBnB. It suits business, pleasure, a romantic night away from kids, and/or a special occasion to celebrate with your life partner.
