We've stayed at many Oakland Airbnbs in the past several years, and Kay Marie & Gerald's place is the most welcoming, relaxing and esthetically pleasing of all.
Kay Marie greeted us warmly, showed us around and generously offered us not only ground coffee, but a variety of food and spice supplies that enabled us to be comfortable without running out to grocery shop immediately. The apartment was so thoughtfully and beautifully designed by her architect son for his own use before moving on to larger quarters. For example, “one way“ blinds in the living room allow a lovely view of the outdoors while maintaining privacy within. The kitchen is very well-equipped; while we didn’t do much cooking on this trip, we could have easily prepared meals. The location is fantastic – tucked away on a quiet street, but a very short walk to shops and restaurants. We highly recommend this clean, attractive and relaxing apartment.
