Property Description
It’s a great time to start the new year in the Bay Area! Come stay at my family home inspired by my travels around the globe as a musician and my pride for ‘The Town.’ Nestled in a beautiful and quiet historic North Oakland neighborhood, my home features: gorgeous coffered ceilings, a formal dining room that seats six, chef's kitchen, queen-sized beds with 1,000 thread-count luxury sheets in every bedroom, spa-like bathrooms with thoughtful toiletries, home office, and a zen backyard with sound system and BBQ. Features “SMART” home details such as light and sprinkler automation, NEST thermostat, and a RING doorbell (with backyard camera) that can be operated with an ALEXA home device. Its perfect for the solo business traveler, the couple looking for some time to get away from it all, adventure seekers wanting to explore the San Francisco Bay Area while still being in close proximity to SF and Napa, or the family road trip stop off (we've got private off-street parking that can accommodate an RV or even a boat). You'll feel like you're in your own oasis while staying here!
Taking a family trip with small kiddos? Perfect home for families with small children and I can supply a high chair, crib, and car seat if needed so you don’t have to travel with these bulky items. Oh and did I mention the location?! Meet up at ‘The Greek!’ Perfect home to stay in while taking in a summer concert at The Greek Theatre. My home is a quick ten minute drive to/from the UC Berkeley campus and a ten minute drive to the vibrant downtown Oakland attractions and restaurants. Heading off for the day to explore San Francisco and celebrate PRIDE is literally a 15-minute drive over the Bay Bridge, and wine country is a 45-minute drive away- so basically LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Can’t wait to meet you!About pets:No pets allowed.Absolutely no pets or animals of any kind!!!.About checkOut:Check out before 12:00 PM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.Our 3rd bedroom has a daybed with pull-out trundle.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:No events allowed.

Just right!
Simone was a warm and welcoming host from original booking to our departure. She created a home that provided everything we needed. 5 of us comfortably stayed 3 nights for a UC Berkeley event. The location is convenient to campus and the safe parking behind a gate was a plus. We needed an extension cord and Simone immediately delivered one. We even used the washer/dryer. Simone's place was just right for our stay!

Wonderful house!
This place was the ideal location for us visiting our daughter in college for her graduation. Simone thought of everything! The kitchen was well equipped, as where the bathrooms and bedrooms. The backyard was a plus. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolute 5-Star Gem!
We have stayed in many properties over the years and this home is the best by far! The owner met us personally upon arrival and showed us around the house. She provided every convenience imaginable for our stay (slippers, robes, toiletries, snacks, beverages, games, laundry, and so much more!) The historic home is newly updated and tastefully decorated with a nod to Oakland history. It has a lovely backyard with spaces for lounging, playing, and off-street parking all secured behind closing gates. The neighborhood is charming and convenient to shops and restaurants. We were in town to visit the UC Berkeley campus and will definitely return to stay here when we are next in town. Highly recommend this lovely home!

Extremely hospitable
Simone is the ultimate hostess - from her communication to the charming updated bungalow to the stocked fridge and pantry, everything had been thought of to make our trip be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We felt very taken care of and our stay was wonderful.

Great stay in Oakland!
The house was lovely, cozy and well stocked, including snacks and bathrobes. Simone was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and the location was great - a 15 minute stroll to lots of restaurants and businesses, plus great parks and a beautiful neighborhood to walk around. Highly recommend!

Great stay!
Our family with 2 small kiddos stayed here during our stay in the Bay Area. Very easy check in and out process. Lots of thoughtful extra like the pantry stocked with kid snacks and it was nice to have cooking basics- spices, oil, etc. Very clean as well!
