Located in the heart of Oakland, this charming apartment offers a cozy 1-bedroom with a queen bed, a well-equipped bathroom featuring both a shower and bathtub, and essential amenities such as heating, WiFi, and a washing machine. Nestled in a peaceful setting, it's the perfect retreat for unwinding and relaxing. Conveniently close to Downtown Oakland, Chinatown, Highland Hospital, Jack London Square, and just a short trip to San Francisco, you'll be in the perfect spot to explore all that the area has to offer.
Karen was a great host, very responsive to communication. Great location for everything we needed to do while in town. The space was clean, bed was comfy. Was great to have a full size fridge and stove/oven. Will definitely come back on our next trip!
Super convenient location close to family we were visiting. Karen was one of the friendliest, most delightful hosts I've ever stayed with in many, many years as a user of all the "BnB" platforms. Highly recommended and would book again!
I had a very nice and relaxing stay with my partner at Karen's home in Oakland. The interior of the house was very welcoming and had really nice amenities including snack bar, coffee bar, full kitchen and dining room. The bed was super comfy and loved the entire layout of the house. The bathroom was very nice clean and organized. Will definitely be back for another stay!
Very comfortable, extremely clean, great amenities like a full sized fridge and gas stove. We appreciated the bed with a real mattress, not a memory-foam cheap mattress that can be uncomfortable. The host was very responsive. The only issue was there's not much street parking, but that may not be a problem a lot of the time. We parked in the driveway and had to shuffle cars a couple times. Overall it's a GREAT place to stay! Thank you to a great host!
Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und mit ausreichend sauberen Bettzeug ausgestattet. Die KĂŒchenzeile ist mit einem grossen tiefen SpĂŒlbecken, einschlieĂlich einer praktischen Handbrause, ausgestattet. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend vorhanden. Lediglich die vorhandenen angeschmorten Kochlöffel sowie Pfannenheber waren nicht nutzbar und sollten ausgetauscht werden. Der fehlende Toaster wurde auf Wunsch sofort bereitgestellt. Der ĂŒbergroĂe KĂŒhlschrank bietet ausreichend Platz. Das Bad, einschlieĂlich WC, ist ausreichend groĂ mit einer Dusch-/Badewanne ausgestattet. Die Ăberkopfbrause lĂ€Ăt sich nicht unabhĂ€ngig von/mit der Handbrause nutzen. Im Bereich vom Einstieg in die Dusch-/Badewanne tritt nach jedem Duschvorgang Wasser auf den Boden aus. AuĂerdem ist es ratsam nur bei Tageslicht zu duschen, da der Bewegungsmelder vom Lichtschalter an der TĂŒr nicht den Duschbereich erfasst! Die sehr hilfsbereite Vermieterin wurde sowohl ĂŒber den Wasseraustritt als auch ĂŒber die eingeschrĂ€nkte Lichtschaltung beim Duschen informiert.
Iâm originally from Taiwan and grew up in Sacramento, but after living in many different places, Iâve found my home in Oakland, where Iâve lived for the past 10 years. My passion is designâwhether itâs digital design or interior design, I love creating beautiful spaces. Iâve been running a design marketing agency from home for 17 years and own a multifamily building in Oakland. Iâm excited to share my love for design and hospitality with my guests. Oakland is a vibrant city with so much to offer, from fine dining to outdoor adventures, and Iâm here to help you make the most of your stay!
I chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of friendly neighbors and a generally quiet atmosphere. The community is welcoming, and while itâs usually peaceful, you might hear some festive fireworks during the holidaysâpeople here love to celebrate! One of the things I enjoy most is the convenience; almost everything is just a 10-15 minute drive away, and San Francisco is close by too. Itâs a great location that provides easy access to everything the Bay Area has to offer while still feeling like a cozy, comfortable place to call home.
What makes my property truly unique is its blend of classic Victorian charm with modern comfort. The high ceilings create a cool, airy space thatâs both inviting and elegant. The property is well-maintained, with everything remodeled from the inside out. While the exterior retains its beautiful Victorian style, the interior features a sleek, modern design, offering the best of both worlds. Itâs a space where history meets contemporary living, providing a distinctive and memorable experience for every guest.
