We're long-time AirBnB'ers and have stayed in quite a few places. So I feel very confident saying that this is definitely one of the best spots, especially at this price point. Jane could definitely charge more than she does. (But I'm glad she doesn't or I wouldn't have found this cute place!)

Quiet, safe neighborhood. The entire little house all to yourself. Very private, even though it's a mother-in-law type abode tucked behind the main house. Love the keyless entry. Loved all the little touches too. We were in Oakland for a concert at The Fox Theater and it was a beautiful sunny evening when we walked all the way there around pretty locals-clearly-enjoy Lake Merritt. (So if you're going to The Fox and the weather is nice this is a perfect location. Although we took a cab home.)

I was a little surprised we never once saw the host but I really enjoyed that as well -- we were bone tired when we drove in and loved that we could just unload the car and crash out into a nap without having to make small talk. :)

Highly recommended!! xo!
