We loved our stay in this place! This was our fourth time staying here, and it was great as always.

We stayed here while visiting family in Oakland and very much appreciated this apartment. It does indeed have a beautiful garden and lots of light. The description is quite accurate except that there is no hot tub. The owners are friendly and not intrusive. The apartment is well stocked and very pleasant, even in rainy weather. We will happily return!

We really enjoyed our stay. The ADU was on the lowest level of the home, but still had a good view of the Bay, and we heard no noise from the hosts or their kids. We only ran into them as we were packing the car to leave, but then they helped bring my luggage up the stairs. I would definitely stay again when in the Oakland or Berkeley area.
There is a nice well equipped small kitchen, a sitting area with TV that opens to a pleasant patio and a view of the backyard which spreads for two more levels.
The bathroom and bedroom are as described. The queen sized bed was quite comfortable. There were plenty of outlets for charging things etc. The walk-in closet has a built-in dresser with three or four shelves.
and room for hanging things. The first couple of nights were warm in the Bay area so we slept with doors and windows open, and used the supplied fans which made for fine sleeping. Like most homes in this part of the Bay Area there is no air conditioning because it is not usually needed.
Things to know: if you have trouble with stairs know that the stairway down from the street is rather long and steep - it wasn't a problem for me and I'm 68; street parking is limited - since you are in the Oakland Hills the streets are narrow and windy - we always found parking very nearby, but it could take some maneuvering to get into the spot; and, the streets in the area are confusing - so study the map and try to arrive in the daylight :)

This sublet rental is part of a beautiful home in the Rockridge Hills. The garden looks and feels like a garden in a Tuscan villa.
The unit was very clean and well appointed in terms of household items for your every need away from home. The closet is a very generous size with plenty of hangers, drawers, suitcase stands etc. The bed is very comfy, kitchen is well stocked. (dishes, pans, glasses- more than enough of everything!)
Freeway entrances are close by ( via car) .
Very quiet neighborhood.
I particularly liked that the unit smelled (and was) very clean, all the bedding, towels etc were not laundered with detergents that carried a harsh or strong smell of any kind.
The owners were very response and available.
As former Oakland residents on vacation, my husband and I found this rental to be everything we hoped and wanted it to be.

This apartment is in a hilly and safe area of Oakland. It is quiet and private feeling. The apartment opens directly on to a beautiful garden that feels very isolated. It is a great place for catching up on work or reading. It is very comfortable and clean and has everything you need for coffee/tea/cooking.

Apartment was very nice, it was quiet, the grounds were beautiful, and the location was excellent. Hosts were very responsive to the few questions I had. I would highly recommend staying here as long as you are fit enough to handle the many stairs going down to the apartment.

Location is central and convenient, even though it's a private and quiet place tucked into the Oakland Hills. Exactly as advertised.

Enjoyed my stay at this lovely property! Location is excellent for Bart, UC Berkeley, Piedmont.
I’d suggest you replace the tea pot as handle is wobbly. All else great!

What a gem! The location is absolutely perfect, and the property was just what we needed for our guests who unfortunately couldn’t stay with us. The hosts were exceptional (communicative, responsive, extending and helpful). Would absolutely revisit this property in the future, and planning to do so!

Excellent.
A few suggestions for Oakland.
Nothing to do with the fabulous property.
Underground utilities.
Power poles and transformers everywhere. Very unsightly and dangerous. Unfortunately green new deal mandates spending on solar panels and not maintenance. Thank you California Public Utilities Commission. Also less Black Power rainbow fists.
But the property was excellent

This host family is doing a really lovely thing, sharing this unique space with visitors.
We felt like we had a true home-base during our weekend-long stay. It had everything that we needed - we just bought groceries. Fully appointed kitchen, plenty of quality linens/towels. The two-room layout - plus the gorgeous yard w/hammock - were plenty of space for us and our 9 and 14 year-olds to relax without feeling like we were on top of each other.
We didn’t rent a car for this trip, and relied on ride-share (think Uber, Lyft), plus public transpo. We knew going in that the location wasn’t really walkable to BART (public transpo train system). That’s the only thing that would have made the stay better for us. That said - it was 100% worth the trade-off for the clean, homey space and warm, kind and responsive hosts.
Would recommend, and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This is our second visit to this property. We loved our stay so much in 2021 that we decided to return in 2022. It was a refreshing getaway from the 100+ deg weather in Texas to the Cool 60’s deg in the Bay Area. The property is beautiful and safe. It was easy to plan our daily trips to San Francisco and Oakland. The property owners are so accommodating, hospitable and welcoming. We enjoyed the wonderful cool weather in July, yes July. I would definitely recommend this beautiful property if visiting the Bay Area.

This is a charming spot in a quiet and nice neighborhood. The family lives upstairs and are very unobstusive and easy. The backyard, which the unit opens to, was our private space and was just as pictured. It is perfect for two people, although there is a sofa bed. Would certainly recommend if available.

Oakland Hills neighborhoods are special and this 1BR unit puts you smack in the middle of one of the best. Streets are tight but parking is easy, free and safe. It’s fun navigating the area; you are minutes away from a myriad of Bay Area treats, particularly the Montclair and Rockridge business districts. BART is close. When you’ve had enough this unit is a very quiet and comfortable retreat. Good bed. Big shower. No garbage disposal but so what? One caveat: only fit and mobile seniors should hike the steps down to the unit.

Having a terrace with garden views and glimpses of the bay beyond was wonderful. Decor is minimalist modern, very clean. Mostly very quiet. May not be the best choice for older people (we're 74 and 81), but still very nice.

A beautiful garden apartment. Hosts have created a clean and comfortable place. The garden and grounds are a spectacular oasis looking over the Bay. Access requires navigating stairs (~40).

The unit is in a nice and quiet neighborhood, just minutes away from downtown Piedmont. It was clean, fairly private and had everything we needed especially a comfortable bed, for a comfortable stay. Parking space was available across the street during the entire duration. The zen'ish patio-backyard was exactly like what is depicted in the photo, a great place to be with a cup of coffee to start our day. Hannah, our host, was quick to respond to our questions. We had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to stay here again when we visit the area in the future.

Who knew Oakland was so charming! The house and gardens were so nice, and parking was relatively easy. The location being a bit out of the way meant it was quiet and felt safe.

Great Location!
Our July vacation was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Apartment was extremely clean, plenty of space and fantastic outdoor gardens with wonderful views, and easy parking. The photos of the location were true to what we saw when we arrived. We felt safe and found it easy to venture out on day trips including catching the BART into San Francisco. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I strongly recommend this location if you are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area.
