Absolutely AMAZING! This was my first Airbnb experience. Upon arrival Philip immediately greeted us with the keys, showed us the bathroom (it’s shared and not in the yurt, it’s located in the basement of their home but easily accessible) and the garden, and finally the yurt. The garden is gorgeous and well maintained, it’s very peaceful. The yurt is the perfect size for two people and comes with fresh water, a coffee pot and coffee, tea, and even snacks! There is a super cute mini fridge and microwave, and even a TV. The decor is very tasteful and bohemian, it definitely didn’t feel like we were in Oakland! The yurt is insulated but does get a bit chilly at night, but this isn’t really a problem because the bedding is very warm and Philip even provides two fluffy cozy robes! It was overall very clean, and the bathroom was very clean and well stocked too.
The dog on the property is very very sweet and enjoys lots of scritches!
It is also so much cheaper than even the worst hotels in the area and very convenient (10 minutes) from downtown. We will definitely be staying again should we find ourselves in Oakland again. This yurt experience made our trip to Oakland unforgettable and unique!
Also, don’t forget to write in the yurt journal on the table!
