"Everything was great!"

"The cafe was out of many items so we grub hubbed our dinner. Heard multiple gunshots several times and they were close by. I did not feel safe—but my husband and I were staying for one night. The whole neighborhood from the airport is very depressed/ran down. We will never visit Oakland again."

"Clean room, very easy check in and check out. Waffles at breakfast were good. The marina park down the street is nice. "

"Decent room "

"I rented this house due to its proximity to redwoods and San Fransisco. Pros:-The house has 3 bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and clean.-The host was a nice guy. The guest before us caused damage and took things. The host came by as we were moving in to refill toiletries and make sure we had towels, water and snacks.Cons:-There is NO AC. It was 80 and the house was hot. We did not sleep well. The host had 3 fans, but they didn't help. We spent more money than planned because I did not want to cook in a hot house. -The door situation was bad. The back door was sealed shut and the front door had a keyed lockset from both sides. We either all had to leave together or whomever stayed behind was locked in. Just weird and unsafe.-The house had a strong cooking smell. I opened windows downstairs every morning/evening to air it out. The disposal was broken and smelled bad. The washing machine smelled like mildew.-The perimeter fence was very ackward and frustrating. I appreciated the extra security, but there was no easy way to get into the property. You either park partially on the busy intersection or at the stop sign in front of the house while someone jumps out and slides open the gate. This house is affordable and could be great for a family with different expectations. We were just disappointed and I felt duped and I really wanted to let others know about our experience. I would have paid a bit more for a house with AC especially."

"The house was big enough for our family, lots of rooms and bathrooms. Specious. Needs attention for better cleaning of the bathrooms and floors tjough. and to update the bedding sheets, towels. Kitchen smelled moldy.No AC, it was 100 degrees upstairs..., "

"Don’t let our first impression discourage you! The cottage was smaller than expected for 4 people full time and the bedroom had a funny smell. There is no door between the bedroom and rest of the space (just a curtain). Finally, it would have been difficult to watch TV from the couch (but who does that on vacation?). Overall it was very nice for just 2. Our mistake was trying to house 4 rather than just sleep 4. We loved the great kitchen supplies and lovely bathroom, adorable private patio, and the sweet and responsive host. We felt safe and secure, it was relatively quiet for a normal neighborhood, and once we got settled in, it was a really great stay! Pay close attention to the details in the listing because there are no misrepresentations! It’s a great little cottage!"

"Clean room and no odor "

"Super clean, fresh, comfortable - this house was all that, and more. Thoughtful amenities in the bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, great laundry.Our host was so kind and worked with us on a couple of minor details. Great location. Will definitely be back, hopefully soon "
