The Mansion is a genuinely special stay in Oakland, a bit idyllic with plentiful foliage and fruit trees in the yard along with peaceful outdoor seating for reading or socializing.
The interior is even more impressive, with ample and comfortable common spaces, plenty of well-equipped cooking space, and accessible free laundry on-premises. There are a variety of unique rooms with a lot of personality.
The icing on the cake are EJ and Alek, who are as accommodating and responsive as hosts as anyone could ask for.
If you get the opportunity to book a stay here, you'll regret passing it up.
