This is the 8th airbnb my sister and I have stayed in in Oakland in the past 6 weeks so I feel very well prepared to compare it to other similar priced and located houses. This house is probably best for families with children who want to enjoy the large backyard outdoor space and play structure; and do not care too much about the details.
The house is unusual in that it has a combination of high tech and low tech aspects. We arrived at night and the automatic lights on stay on for a few seconds and then turn off, so you have to navigate up a lot of steep stairs in the dark. Checking in was challenging as the lockbox was difficult to open and there are 4 locks that do not turn easily. There are ring cameras around the entire house, including facing directly at the hot tub. The hot tub is nice but takes several hours to heat up and the breaker was off when we arrived so we could not use it the first night.
Inside the house, there are google Nests everywhere, and we could hear a man's voice speaking through them. When I contacted the host, she said the Nest was misconfigured, and it didn't happen again. However, this made us feel as though we were likely being listened to through the Nest. That, combined with the cameras everywhere, made us feel very uncomfortable.
The cleanliness and care felt far less than what would be expected at this price point, and was very different from all the other nearby places we stayed. It seemed like someone moved out and left everything they did not want behind. There was broken furniture and debris outside the front door, hair on most surfaces, very well used furniture, and sheets and towels that seemed like they had been in use for decades. There was a lack of what I would call "airbnb essentials" such as a hair dryer or cooking oil. All of this would have been fine if the price reflected the conditions.
