2 Bedrooms in the Sunshine House

RobRating, 5 stars8 months ago
What a delightful stay! Leda is a fantastic host, and her home is absolutely a great find. So quiet and safe. The house backs up onto a salt water lagoon—it’s a nature lover’s paradise. The beds are the best, excellent sleep is in your future here. The location is conveniently located to jump on the light rail to the ferry building and then San Francisco, or go to the Marin coast, or Sonoma. One should not let this opportunity pass by.

Brand new, cheerful, 2 bedroom home in Oakland

Stephanie R.Rating, 5 stars20 months ago
I booked super last minute, and Henry was great. Very chill. His place matched the photos exactly. Neat, clean, and the w/d was a nice bonus! Close to the lake and vegan options (Vegan Mob was amazing). Although I couldn't take advantage of it, I appreciate the 3:00 check-in and 12:00 check-out. Neighborhood is pretty quiet with an occasional dog barking. Street parking was available. I will definitely stay again. 💜

Private room near DT Walnut Creek

BrittanyRating, 5 stars21 months ago
This is such a great rental! Keeping it bookmarked for future needs and sharing with friends. The house was very clean and comfortable. Ruby was very responsive when needed. It’s close to so many places, but is also on a quiet street — best of both worlds. Would be happy to recommend this place to others!

MateuszRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Lois is a fantastic, generous, and very hospitable host. When we called her, she responded immediately. The place is nice and tidy and both the area and the household are quiet and peaceful. The surrounding neighborhood is walkable, and SFSU is super close, making it perfect for anyone visiting the university (and anyone else too!)

CHIC & EXCLUSIVE HOME IN PRIVATE TRANQUIL SETTING

LoriRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Roble Rd was the perfect place for us to land for a very long stay for a botched all house remodel. The private, gated location was perfect as we had to park bicycles and two cars and my dog had more room to run than ever. The nearby Berkeley shopping and restaurants were wonderful - it's a great location and a very nice house....

Entire Charming, Private Ste close to shops & fwys

LisaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Lovely peaceful 1 br cozy unit w large veranda settled in the hillside. Eucalyptus scented breezes and backdrop of nearby park preserve a great refuge from hectic world below. Very accessible and convenient to get back and forth while on call at nearby hospital. Police substation at base of hill and peripheral location near Chabot Lake Park adds to feeling of secure location. Reconfirm entrance instructions, Meg is a very helpful and caring hostess.

Relaxed and Spacious 2 BR Apartment with a Patio

AlexRating, 5 stars16 months ago
Very spacious home and Roland was a very kind and attentive host. Comfortable beds and couches, brand new oven in the kitchen, and the patio in back was a nice retreat at the end of the day. Roland was always available when we had questions. The house is also easy to reach, especially if arriving by taxi or bus. A corner store across the street was great for a couple things we forgot, and some ingredients for cooking. This neighborhood is pretty rough, though, and you should keep this in mind when booking. It was not a big deal for us as we used to live in this part of Oakland and knew what we were going into, but for a young family or someone not familiar with Oakland, this might be a shock. The home is a great home base for a trip, and it is very close to public transit (huge!), but this neighborhood isn't somewhere you'll enjoy exploring on a walk as a tourist. Parking is also pretty bad, you are unlikely to find a spot on the block the house is on.

Modern Home in Alameda

GeoffreyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It was great staying at Rin and Lynn's place! I stayed here with my Dad and sister. I appreciated that the photos accurately recapitulate the home itself, and size of each room (unlike many other listings where a fishbowl or zoomed out effect is used to feign the appearance of large rooms). This is one of the most functional AirBnB's that I have stayed in too (e.g. kitchen, parking garage, guest parking, etc). Safe/nice location, and easy for us to run quick errands or commute to our family nearby, across the bridge, or south of the city. We'd love to come back!

CliftonRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Thomas is a great host and is great with his communication and very responsive. His place has a great location. It is on the corner of a semi-busy street, but still felt private inside. AC units were great to have on the hot days we were there. Cooled down in the evening quickly as we were close to a winding lagoon with a beautiful trail for walking. Thank you, Thomas. We'll back next time we can make it down there.
