We stopped in Oakland to visit friends on our way back from Hawaii to Detroit. Found this place via a friend who had stayed there in January and recommended it. We were more then pleased with our experience:)
The host met us upon arrival, showed us around, and then gave us our privacy while still responding with lightning speed to any text I sent. Very clean and stocked with coffee, tea and filtered water which was a plus. We didn't mind the outdoor shower one bit- water was hot and pressure was excellent.
Cute yard, the lake is steps away, and we also had no trouble finding parking (although the location is great and you don't need a car). Super cute dog as well:) Would stay here again!
