This was the second place that my wife and I stayed on our honeymoon, and it was an absolute pleasure to stay in Kay Marie and Gerald's Modern Urban Retreat. They were so welcoming and helpful with any questions we had and always made sure we were well taken care of (they even got us a bottle of wine as a wedding present). Oakland is a hidden gem in our opinion, and also very close to San Fransisco. We went into the city quite a bit and also had a chance to go to an Oakland A's game. All the photos and descriptions of the Modern Urban Retreat incredibly accurate and even better in person. Kay Marie and Gerald are phenomenal hosts.
