This is a great house for larger groups - we really loved having a second bedroom and two floors in which to spread out. We stayed for a week, including two of the hottest days I've ever felt in the Bay Area and so our experience was a little atypical - the rooms stayed so bright when normally the evening fog rolls in nicely and you have diffuse light through the skylights.
Off-street parking is such a rarity in Oakland - we loved the quiet, set-back nature of the property. A quick trip to Berkeley Bowl (just up Shattuck) meant we had everything we needed for quiet breakfasts at home before setting out for the day. This airbnb was a great base of operations to run all over town and into SF.
Christopher stayed in close touch, although he was not in town, and we appreciated that he gave us a short history of the house and the neighborhood. We would stay again! Thanks Christopher.
