I can't speak highly enough of La Guarida! My experience from beginning to end was excellent. Francisco was extremely responsive during the booking phase and provided very descriptive instructions for my arrival. Once inside, I immediately noticed the attention to details. Details matter! After enduring a long road trip, it was nice to check in and sip on wine that was left as a complimentary gift by Francisco. I was in awe of the beautifully decorated rooms, gorgeous wall paper, and curated artwork that made our stay very special and unique. It was obvious that a lot of love and care went into designing and furnishing the unit. The kitchen is well appointed with every amenity a traveler would need. I arrived with my Aunt and my teenaged niece and nephew. My entire crew was happy that we had plenty of room to stretch out. We spent our days visiting with family and would return back to our sanctuary for rest and relaxation. We all took notice of the cleanliness of the unit which is super important to us. With that being said, I highly recommend staying at La Guarida. It is centrally located and a great spot for anyone looking to stay in Oakland. It was perfect!
