Camiel is a brilliant host! Every part of my stay was beautifully designed from the decor to the patio/yard. I enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub, the natural light. Camiel even was nice enough to offer access to his garden for fresh vegetables and such. The place is so versatile, great for relaxing as well as working- the dinner table made for a great workspace set-up and the entire apartment was spotless. In fact this was such a beautiful place that my vacation turned into a staycation half the time which is perfect for a trip during Covid-19. To top it all off, Camiel is super attentive and responsive. Check in and check out was super easy. He even went the extra mile to make sure everything would be perfect and comfortable for this trip. The parking spot was an added bonus, I never had trouble with parking thanks to this stay and that's hard to come by in California. The upstairs neighbor is really sweet and super respectful of privacy etc. And on the last day, the washer dryer made packing a breeze. Oh and the shower is amazing. Will definitely be staying here again sombeday and will recommend to anyone I know looking for a beautiful staycation in Oakland. The view from the backyard and the entire backyard set up is something I've never seen before and definitely worth many more visits in the future!
