Comfortable and quiet
We had a great stay at this home. Upper level of the house is comfortable and quiet. Plenty of space. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Wi-Fi is strong. No issues with on-street parking. Walkable to grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacies and hardware. Susie is a helpful and friendly host. We’ve stayed her before while visiting family in the neighborhood and look forward to future visits.

About the host

Hosted by Susie

Host profile image
I'm a long time Bay Area resident with deep ties into Berkeley, local food, arts and craft scenes,,,and an East Bay real estate agent with lots of knowledge of neighborhoods and destinations all over the Bay Area. Host for 10 years and a real estate agent, happy to show buyers homes.

Open minded, I love to live the good simple life and enjoy the spirit of travelers who love connecting with new folks. I've traveled to lots of countries and have friends around the world.

(AS A RESPECTFUL TRAVELER MYSELF, FOLLOWING HOUSE RULES IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND SOMETHING I EXPECT MY GUESTS TO DO AS WELL. It is sad to me that bad guests have forced me to turn my house description into a manual of do's and don'ts!)

Making sure guests enjoy their stay to the fullest through clear communication and expectations is super important, and I've had some wonderful experiences meeting people from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

Location location location! We're on a street lined with Craftsman bungalow homes. This private flat is decorated with arts and crafts to stir creativity yet with the comforts of home. The upper floor offers lots of light, from dawn to dusk, and when you wake up you see only sky from the bedroom window - lots of privacy.

You can walk between Oakland's two hot neighborhoods, Rockridge and Temescal, with easy access to Berkeley and SF, and revel on Sunday mornings at a fantastic farmers market.

It's especially great for people considering moving to the East Bay wanting to get a feel for the area or as a visiting professor / remote worker (or nomad !) or if you're remodeling their home in Oakland and need a temporary home.

What makes this property unique

This flat has really great energy and most people who stay there want to come back. Built in 1907, it has good bones and a nice layout where you can hang out with your travel buddies or retreat to your own area of the flat.

Your food and adventure concierge and local expert lives below, available with tips for enjoying the Bay Area to the fullest, if you like.
