The Oak’s Nest

PaulRating, 5 stars1 week ago

It was my fourth time staying at the Oak’s Nest, and it was just as excellent as the first. Sarah and Darrell are the best hosts I’ve ever had, and in a place as gorgeous as theirs, it’s hard to resist coming back. Can’t recommend it enough!

Classic Bright Modern Spacious 1bd/1ba Apartment

HenleyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

INCREDIBLE place! Peaceful and quiet, this studio was one of a kind with beautiful interior design (and Danish furniture!) and gorgeous back patio. We spent each morning lounging out back enjoying the blooms and relaxing vibes. Host Tony was chill and friendly and went out of his way to greet us - thanks Tony! The neighborhood was priceless - beautiful Berkeley homes and gardens, and it was so easy to walk a few blocks to the Main Street for gelato, coffee, Trader Joe’s, etc. 100% recommend!
