Overall the location was amazing. Walking distance to top rated farmers market, shops, restaurants, etc.
The lakeshore district is lively and fun. As a native oaklander I was happy to be back in this hood for a little bit.
The freeway is also close which is great for transportation to other parts of the city. Just note there will be noise and the typical pollution that comes from this proximity to transportation.
There was a shared yard for our two pups to stretch their legs here and we both felt very safe staying here.
The cottage is very cute. Small but with most necessities. This is a perfect place to stay for a young
20 something.
Kate and Miles are super responsive. We needed to extend our stay a few times and they were very quick to take care of the Airbnb invites. The hospitality and communication through Airbnb was excellent.
The bathroom is recently updated, well designed and decorated and even has a skylight. We loved the ample room we had in the shower.
Though this place was perfect for my husband and my needs at the time, I would not recommend this for couples. The bed I believe was a full size and felt a bit small. The mattress was also covered with a plastic covering which I understand the reason for, but it felt a bit uncomfortable and hot to us.
Again this is great spot for a 20 something single.
My husband loved the ceiling fans as he gets hot at night. The bedroom window needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance.
The kitchen was stocked with basic necessities and everything was working great. Lots of coffee and tea making options which we loved as coffee fanatics.
They were missing a can opener and a couple other utensils but not a big deal.
The dishwasher had some dirty dishes when we arrived which in the time of covid was a little concerning but we were fine sanitizing everything ourselves as an extra precaution. It’s still way better than staying in a hotel right now.
Bottom line this is the perfect location to experience one of the best neighborhoods in Oakland. Kate and Miles are great.
