Eda’s beautiful home and spectacular backyard garden were perfect for our multigenerational family get together! Rather than the sterile feel of an investment property, Eda’s spacious property exudes warmth and the kind of collected layers only found in a lovingly cared for home. Furniture and decor were charming and reflect the owner’s travels and interests in a most tranquil space.
Despite such an inviting setting for relaxation however, we also enjoyed great walks through the beautiful neighborhood on our way to walk around nearby Lake Merritt. And after dark there was an amply-sized dining table—big enough to host games rowdy games for our family of 8. We found that we all most enjoyed spending nearly every other waking moment while home in Eda’s fabulous backyard garden! Everything was in bloom or bearing fruit and birds were everywhere! It was a truly heavenly spot for breakfast every morning or a quiet visit in the afternoon with hummingbirds buzzing about, and a magical place at dusk with a little music and takeout for 9 as we caught up in person with loved ones after far, far too long apart.
We definitely hope to return for our next family get together in Oakland. We feel sure your family will enjoy Eda’s warm, relaxing home as much as ours did!
