Art-full Place to Stay
The property is as advertised but the pictures don't do it justice. The unit is a second floor duplex with a locked private entrance that is totally separated from the downstairs unit where the owner lives. We never heard a peep from folks below us. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. Carlos has filled this lovely unit with art he's collected over the years. It's interesting, whimsical, and delightful. It's an older house with modern bathroom, kitchen, and flooring. The unit is well-appointed with amenities to meet your needs. There are games, CDs, a Roku TV, all the kitchen goodies, etc. The neighborhood is safe and very near restaurants, shops, a vintage movie palace (the Grand Lake Theater), and a great urban park (Lake Merritt). It's convenient by highway to S.F. and the Bay Area. Our only quibble -- and involves a purely a personal and subjective matter of preference -- is the bed in the master bedroom was a bit too firm for our taste. We would recommend this great unit without reservation, and with our full endorsement. We'd go back there in a heartbeat if time and circumstances allow.

Best VRBO ever!
My husband and I were in the area visiting relatives. The location was perfect. We would have been satisfied with that as long as the dwelling was adequate. But we were thrilled even as we walked up the porch steps: fragrant blossoms in the lovely landscaped front garden. Excellent taste in style blend with comfort in this gorgeous flat. The natural light brightens everything and the views are stellar- What a backyard! We were sad to leave our beloved relatives-- but just as sad to leave this amazing VRBO

A home away from home
This was the second time we stayed at this home which may be all you need to know. It's clean with plenty of room to spread out and most of the conveniences one would expect. It's close (walking distance of about a 1/2 mile with a steep return climb) to shopping and dining areas and to public transportation should you choose not to use a car to get around. Carlos and his family are very warm and welcoming, and it was good to know that they were there just in case (but there were no problems, happily). We highly recommend this rental and hope to stay there again when we next visit Oakland.

Beautiful artistic home
Great place to stay. A lot of living space for a family to spread out. Also had designated parking which is a huge bonus if arriving late.

Spacious, peaceful, unique
Carlos's Oakland property is a lovely oasis of peace and comfort. We felt instantly at home. Light- filled and spacious, this second floor flat is decorated in beautiful style with interesting collections of books, artwork, and curios. Very clean, well-appointed, and safe, and the listing photos show it very well - the reality surpassed our expectations. A perfect home-base to explore SF and the Bay area, with walking-distance to Oakland grocery, restos, and shops. We had such a nice family holiday and I hope to be back sooner rather than later. Thank you! 😊

Amazing 5 Days in Oakland
Our stay in Oakland was wonderful! The place is beautiful, peaceful and very comfortable. Location is great. It was walkable and safe. Carlos is easy to communicate with, accommodating and hospitable. We would stay here again in a second.

Great Choice
My husband, 16 year-old son and I had a wonderful time at Carlos' place. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We loved the artwork and the proximity to Lake Merritt. When the smaller bedroom got too hot due to an increase in temperature, we requested a fan and Carlos provided one right way. Communication with him was seamless. We highly recommend this apartment.
