Kimberly's beautiful Oakland home was a great place for my family and I to stay. We stayed here during our 4-day visit to San Francisco. A little breakdown of the location: it is a 30-50 minute drive to the main part of the city/tourist attractions (Pier 39, Fisherman's Warf, Golden Gate Bridge). Being outside of the city, the location is great because it is very quiet at night and you feel like you have your safe haven from the bustling city. Plus, you save on paying for parking everyday (I found many hotels still charge you for parking per day). However, staying outside of SF means that everyday you go into the city, you need to pay $4-$6 when crossing the Oakland Bay Bridge. So keep that in mind because it adds up. About the home: The pictures perfectly match what the home is like. I found a few small details were different (accent pieces, lounge chairs, bedding), but overall, what you see in the pictures is what you get. Something not visible in the pictures is that this is an older home (as told by Kimberly, it was built in the 1920s). So, you will hear some creaking every now in then when you walk around, but nothing to be alarmed about. Kimberly did a great job decorating this place. My family and I appreciated all the small details about the decor. The heating also worked very well during the cold nights in SF. The actual home inside doesn't get cold very much, but it helps if you are someone that likes using a heater. About the parking: There is an abundance of street parking. The house is on a hill so just remember if you park on the street to face your tires the according way and to put the emergency brake. The actual driveway is also available to use, which we used each night. It does dip a bit so the bumper of our car unfortunately would hit each time we would pull in. It would hit the bottom of the bumper. About the neighborhood: I felt safe staying here. I honestly never saw any of the neighbors but I still felt comfortable staying here. About the amenities: Kimberly provided us with many extra towels, sheets, and pillows. She made it clear that we could use anything we needed and was very welcoming when she gave us the tour of her home on the first day. In the shower, there was shampoo, conditioner, and soap for us to use (although we did bring our own). The kitchen was also very well equipped in terms of cooking the basic meals (breakfast mainly). We cooked breakfast here almost everyday and Kimberly offered her spices to us, which was nice. My favorite part: The princess bedroom with a flat-screen TV and amazing view of the city! I slept in here and it was nice to watch Netflix at night before bed and to wake up the beautiful views of SF...
