Waterfront with HUGE Backyard
We loved staying at Corria's place. It’s a quiet ground-floor unit at the rear of a multi-unit property. The backyard is beautifully lined with rosebushes and overlooks the water, perfect for relaxing lunches (patio furniture available). It’s a quick drive to Park St & Webster St restaurants, Safeway, and the ferry - I commuted to SF by ferry 2 separate days, and it was beautiful! The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, and there’s plenty of bedroom storage - we fully unpacked for our 1-week stay. I worked remotely from the dining table all week, and the wifi worked great. Corria was responsive and easy to communicate with, quickly helping with a couple of small needs. Some notes: - One bedroom has lower ceilings - better for kids or shorter folks. - Not wheelchair accessible: uphill driveway, then stone steps down to the unit (well lit at night). - There’s an old dock out back - it’s a bit rickety, so be cautious and watch kids. All in all, great location & highly recommended!

Designer Cozy Retreat: New & Premium
The home is freshly renovated, clean and modern. One parking spot available on the driveway. Street parking also available but a bit crowded. Basic necessities were generally well stocked. Hosts were communicative.

Aqua Vista / Waterfront House
We had a lovely stay at Ramy’s place. It was exactly as described and very comfortable for our family. Kitchen had everything you could think of. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Ramy was extremely responsive. Neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Overall great place to stay in Discovery Bay!

We had a great stay at Belle GiGi’s place. She was very helpful and very flexible when we asked for an early check in and late check out. She was quick to respond and very friendly. Would stay again!

Silicon Valley Pvt Room in a safe neigh'd
Superior host. Kind, helpful, reasonable. What a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Might as well be floating!
We loved our stay here! They've done such a beautiful job with this place and we felt right at home. We were able to keep our kayaks on the doc each night without issue and the neighborhood friendly and felt safe. Plenty of parking for our car and trailer. Right on great fishing that my husband was able to enjoy while I was able to slow down and relax on the deck with a good book and some bird watching while taking in the beautiful view. There are no homes across the water so you get nature views instead of feeling like ur looking into someone's home. So peaceful at night with beautiful stars, cool breeze, and frogs gently singing. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all meals, comfy living room with big TV to wind down at night, great shower and bathtub, comfortable beds, and friendly and responsive hosts! 10/10 recommend and can't wait to be back!

Pleasanton Haven
Lovely property. Peaceful and clean. The home is located on the edge of a housing development where it is quiet. The house provided easy access to the area we wished to explore. The host was friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home and would rent the property again if we return to this area soon.

Peaceful 2 bd Sanctuary by Lake Merritt w Parking!
Belinda's place was worthy of all of the 5 stars I just submitted. We were entirely pleased with all aspects of her home and our stay. If it matters to future travelers, there are 45 steps from the sidewalk to the front door. We managed these steps, but there is no getting around them.

Beautiful Lake Merritt Too.
Great place in a beautiful neighborhood. Just what we wanted. Among other things, the kitchen was great and well-supplied, including coffee, fruit, bottled water, and a bottle of wine! We felt very welcome and will certainly try to rent it again when we're back in Oakland.

Small studio apartment in quiet neighborhood.
I've stayed at LaurieAnn's several times and this continues to be my first choice whenever I'm in the Bay Area. LaurieAnn was very responsive to all my needs, as always. Perfect for a mobile single senior traveler. Highly recommended.

Romantic - close to beach, shopping & restaurants!
Kyle is an amazing host. Friendly, reasonable and super prompt. It felt like he was right there with us. We definitely felt like this was a great place for us. Kyle was truly invested in us having a good experience and it showed in all our messages. The place has everything for a short and long term stay and is close to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. Great spot overall!

Bright Mid-Century studio near Lake Merritt
Absolutely gorgeous space! Felt like a 5 star hotel tucked away in this airbnb. The location is in a lovely residential part of the lake that is quieter and still walking distance to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and central heart of Lake Merritt. The cleanliness of this place is top tier and loved the sweet note, gifted snacks/water, and all the personal “you may need” amenities provided in the bathroom too. Alisa is so helpful, kind, & clear with communication. So grateful to have stayed in your jewel of a sunshine home. The design is a mix of modern, retro vibes & everyone about this space is top tier. Thank you so much Alisa :)

Downtown Oakland Delight
I had a truly lovely and seamless stay at this Airbnb. My family and I stayed here for 8 nights while celebrating my graduation from UC Berkeley, and it was the perfect home base. The check-in process was smooth and convenient, everything was handled through an app that also gave us access to the building’s many amenities. The apartment itself was spotless and had clearly been cleaned right before our arrival. I barely had to contact the host because everything was so well-prepared, but when I did, she was responsive, kind, and understanding. The location is ideal, right in the heart of downtown Oakland. It's just a short walk to the BART station, making it easy to get anywhere in the Bay Area, and the AC Transit bus stop is only two streets away. Being in the city center also made us feel safe and connected to everything we needed. If you're looking for a convenient, clean, and comfortable place to stay in Oakland, I highly recommend this Airbnb!

Bright and Spacious 2 Bedroom Apt. Family Friendly
Perfect place for a visit for a wedding. Lots of walkable access to stores and restaurants and lake Merritt. Hosts are very responsive and helpful.

Apartment of Merritt
Apartment was clean and well furnished with many of the comforts of home including a well-equipped kitchen with coffee, tea and snacks. Adequate space for two and pet friendly.

Would definitely book again!
