Erin and Josh’s place, which is the basement apartment of their home, is an excellent option for a family visiting the Oakland area. Our 3-year-old loved all the toys the hosts left for him to play with and their spacious backyard (not to mention getting to play outside with the hosts’ two boys). The house is walking distance to grocery stores, parks and restaurants in Rockridge, as well as a BART station. The hosts left snacks, beer, milk and creamer in the fridge, which was a nice surprise. All in all, our family enjoyed our stay.
