We had a really wonderful time staying in North Oakland! Tiendres really cares about creating a comfortable, fun and safe space and it shows. The space was very nice, and I think it will be getting even better as Tiendres adds little touches to make it even more homey. The couch is very comfortable. My whole family almost fell asleep on it. It also folds into a nice bed, not as comfortable as the main bed, but still comfortable. The loft isn't very tall, but my children really enjoyed being up in it and one of them even slept on the provided blow-up bed. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need. The bathroom is really spacious and doubles as the laundry room.
The surrounding area is very pleasant. There is a BART train station less than a ten minute walk away. There are unique and beautiful murals and house decorations right next to the space. There are also a lot of great food options within walking distance including pizza, cafes, Thai and Ethiopian. I would highly recommend going to Shewhat, an Eritrean restaurant just two blocks down the street. The wait staff was so welcoming and the food was amazing!
This is a great place for single travels, couples or small families. I will be recommending this listing to my family and friends.
