Great home outside of San Francisco!

We stayed here for our family vacation to explore San Francisco for the first time. Great home with plenty of room downstairs that was in our budget compared to options in downtown SF. Home was very clean and the binder left by the property owners was invaluable!

Charming house in a convenient location

Had to be at Oakland airport at 4am so this house was just what we needed! And convenient to great restaurants -- Soba Ramen was delicious! The house is charming and comfortable. We had fun in the front and back yards looking for ripe fruit to pick from the trees.

Oakland stay

We had a very good stay for exploring the area. I only gave 3 stars for cleanliness as there was a mixup in our booking and we arrived before the cleaners could get there. Angie was quick to respond to us at all times and took care of the situation by refunding our cleaning fee.

It's a Mona Lisa...

...absolutely beautiful, charming even. My family of 1 adult and two children enjoyed the many light filled windows. The artistic decor and fully functional chef's kitchen. Unfortunately the basement bedroom was freezing and the host never responded to our inquiry on how to warm it. So it was unusable space, that we paid for.We are avid book readers but wanted to watch a movie together. The t.v.'s do not allow you to log into any streaming services. There weren't even free movies / t.v. available. The host didn't respond to my inquiry about this either. It was a lackluster experience despite the homes appearance.

Nice large home

I was focused on trying to pack my son’s apartment in the city and appreciated having a warm comfortable bed at the end of the day. I had to cut it short when my son was admitted to the hospital with an infection in Scottsdale where he is receiving cancer care. Thank you for you understanding.

Nice place, but bad WiFi

The house was very cute, but the WiFi was awful, which was terrible for my toddler (who is obsessed with Bluey).

Total Dump!

I have no idea how this house has so many good reviews? From the moment we drove into the neighborhood with all of the homeless encampments around, pulling up to the house and it’s like a jungle outside. There hasn’t been any landscaping done and God knows how long.. Furniture is older than I am. Windows are nailed closed Which is a safety hazard! We were not comfortable staying there so we left within 30 minutes of arriving I sent a message to the host never heard back until after checkout two days later. I found another House home in a safe neighborhood, but didn’t have the windows nailed closed spiderwebs everywhere Inside and outside of the home first thing you see when you walk up to the front door.

Nice, clean and comfortable

My family enjoyed staying at this home for one night. I was with my daughter and two grandkids who are 7 and 2. There were plenty of toys to keep the kids occupied and my daughter and I liked the cozy warm feeling of the home. In the morning I walked out to the street in front of the home and enjoyed the view of downtown Oakland. We would certainly consider staying here again.
