About this house rental

Situated in Berkeley, this charming house for $639 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. It’s a new year and a great time to spend “Sweater Season” 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 concert at The Greek Theatre. My home is a quick ten minute drive 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 is literally a 15-minute drive over the Bay Bridge, and wine country is a 45-minute drive away- so basically LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

I booked Simone & David's beautiful house rather last minute before Christmas as my daughter had to have leg surgery & I needed a place with a first floor bedroom and few entrance steps. Boy, did we get lucky! I can easily say that Simone and David are the best & most attentive hosts that I have ever experienced. The house itself has been beautifully renovated. The decor and artwork are very well done too (and I'm picky). Every need has been thought of in this well stocked home!

This was the most well-stocked vacation rental we've stayed at. The dining table and living room worked well for us as gathering places. Our host was very gracious and thorough in showing us around. Off street parking was excellent, with spaces for our 3 cars. There were 7 in our party, including six adults and a teenager. Sleeping was a little tricky for us since the bedrooms held 6 and the teenager didn't want to sleep on the living room couch. It worked, due to everyone's flexibility. Also, the trundle bed, where my husband and I slept, would not have worked for everyone, but we are pretty nimble. Overall, it was a charming home.

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!

We had an amazing stay at Simone’s place! The location was central to everything we wanted to see and do, and had a good bed/bath set up for two couples traveling together. Simone was very communicative leaving up to the stay and the personal welcome/walkthrough was really nice. The stocked snacks and drinks and beautiful freshly cut flowers were such nice extras!!! Thank you, Simone!

The reviews for this property are all accurate. Simone is a beyond fantastic host. The home is adorable, very clean, and loaded with amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and is conveniently located near a variety of transportation options (highways, Bart, ect). We had a rental vehicle and the property has private parking behind a locked gate, which was a huge bonus. One of the cutest and best equipped places I've ever stayed in. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

The house is in a nice neighborhood that is convenient to dining, parks, and San Francisco. It is very nicely furnished with everything you need for your stay. It has a nice back yard and a nice gated parking area. The property owners are very helpful and responsive and helped to make our stay perfect. The house came stocked with a lovely pantry as well. We totally enjoyed our stay in this adorable home!

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!
