Fritz's property is a true Bay Area gem — by far the best stay I've had in Oakland. The space is welcoming, homey, clean and in good condition — the perfect amount of space for a solo traveler or a couple. The porch immediately outside your door and the gorgeous sun deck beyond that kind of make you feel like royalty. It feels private yet immersed in the bustling Lake Merritt community. The other residents of the property (and the hummingbird that frequently zips around the property) are all lovely and welcoming. Fritz is an exceedingly excellent host, and goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and that all your needs are met during your stay. I will 100% absolutely stay here again and can't recommend this spot enough. If it's available, snag it!
