We had a good stay at Lolas place. It was a cozy space, at a great price, in a nice neighborhood. Lots to love about this spot and a couple of things that could have been a little better.
Loved:
Private entrance, self check in, good communication, lots of street parking, had everything we needed (not pictured is a mini fridge, plates, coffee/tea, egg), nice neighborhood, lots of shops down the road. The very nearby pizza and Thai restaurants were both delicious!! The mini store has a nice selection of organic things. The garden was as beautiful as pictured. The place felt really cozy like staying at an aunts house. Lots of books, games, and other thoughtful touches .
Some other things to note:
The glass in the entry door was super cracked/broken and blocked the view of the garden. The dogs weren’t overly friendly to us and one night a dog barked for a long time (Assuming when no one was home) but it didn’t last all night and we still got plenty of sleep.
Overall we had a good experience though and I would book again for a weekend getaway! Thanks Lisa and fam for giving us a home away from home! We would still recommend lolas place to anyone who’s considering booking in the Oakland area.
