About this property

1BR w/ Parking • Quiet Retreat • Central Oakland

  • Cozy 1-bedroom apartment in Oakland with shared driveway parking, high ceilings, and soundproof walls for a quiet stay. Features an electric fireplace and a spa-style rainfall shower (no bathtub faucet). The space is cool and softly lit, perfect for relaxing. Conveniently located near Downtown Oakland, Chinatown, and easy access to San Francisco.

    This apartment was thoughtfully designed as a comfortable and peaceful retreat for guests like you. From the high ceilings to the clean tile flooring, every detail creates a simple, calming space to unwind after a long day.

    The interior has a naturally cool and shaded feel, offering a quiet escape from the busyness of the city. Soundproof walls add to the sense of privacy, making it easy to relax or work remotely.

    The living area features an electric fireplace and heater, perfect for cozy evenings. The bathroom includes a rainfall and handheld shower for a spa-like experience. (Please note: there is no bathtub faucet.)

    The owner lives upstairs, but the space is separate and your privacy is respected.

    Shared driveway parking is available on-site, making your stay more convenient.

    Whether you`re here short or long term, this space is designed to feel like a simple, private home base in Oakland.

    The property is part of a duplex building within a gated property.

    Guests will enter through a shared community gate (code will be provided before check-in). From there, you’ll have access to your private unit, which is completely separate from the upstairs space.

    You’ll have full access to your unit, including the living area, bedroom, bathroom, and shared driveway parking.

    Please note that while the gate and driveway are shared, your living space is private and separate.

    We tend to be very busy with work and won’t be available in person, so prefer communicating through the app. If you have any questions I am always a call or text away.

    Welcome to my vibrant Oakland neighborhood! This bustling community, located just 8 minutes from downtown Oakland and only 15 minutes from San Francisco, offers the perfect balance of urban convenience and laid-back charm. With its close proximity to public transit, including the Fruitvale BART station less than 10 minutes away, getting around town has never been easier.

    One of the highlights of this neighborhood is its eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Take a stroll down International Boulevard and discover all the diverse cuisines that are available, from authentic Mexican food to delicious Caribbean dishes. On weekends, don`t miss the chance to visit the hugely popular Fruitvale Village Farmer`s Market, where you can sample fresh produce and crafts from local vendors.

    For those who love the outdoors, this neighborhood has plenty of green spaces to explore. Head to nearby Lake Merritt, where you can take a leisurely walk around the lake or rent a kayak and paddle on the water. If you`re a fitness enthusiast, you can join a local running club or take part in free outdoor workout classes in one of our neighborhood parks.

    And if you`re a fan of the arts, you`ll love this neighborhood`s vibrant cultural scene. Whether you`re into live music, theater, or visual arts, there`s always something going on. Check out the many galleries and performance spaces that line our streets, or catch a show at one of our historic movie theaters.

    Whether you`re a young professional, a growing family, or a retiree, this Oakland neighborhood has something for everyone. Come and join us in this thriving community!

Outstanding Oakland Spot

Super convenient location close to family we were visiting. Karen was one of the friendliest, most delightful hosts I've ever stayed with in many, many years as a user of all the "BnB" platforms. Highly recommended and would book again!

Nice and clean, central location

Karen was a great host, very responsive to communication. Great location for everything we needed to do while in town. The space was clean, bed was comfy. Was great to have a full size fridge and stove/oven. Will definitely come back on our next trip!

This place was perfect for my business stay. The amenities including the kitchen, WiFi and shower made me feel at home. It was a great space to work, do homework and relax. I was able to cook like I do at home as it was close to Trader Joe’s. I found many great coffee shops and truly appreciated being able to park in the driveway. I felt safe behind the locked gate and the automatic lighting added an additional safety element. The host was very responsive when I had a question. I look forward to staying again!

Great communication

Very comfortable, extremely clean, great amenities like a full sized fridge and gas stove. We appreciated the bed with a real mattress, not a memory-foam cheap mattress that can be uncomfortable. The host was very responsive. The only issue was there's not much street parking, but that may not be a problem a lot of the time. We parked in the driveway and had to shuffle cars a couple times. Overall it's a GREAT place to stay! Thank you to a great host!

I had a very nice and relaxing stay with my partner at Karen's home in Oakland. The interior of the house was very welcoming and had really nice amenities including snack bar, coffee bar, full kitchen and dining room. The bed was super comfy and loved the entire layout of the house. The bathroom was very nice clean and organized. Will definitely be back for another stay!

This was my second time staying here and the next time I’m in town for work I will book again. The location is perfect with coffee and groceries close. The home itself is comfortable and has everything needed including a full fridge and stove to cook as well a coffee maker for my early morning at home coffee needs. The shower and fire place are my favorite amenities as well as the private and secure entrance. It’s well lighted at the gate and door which I greatly appreciate. I cannot say enough great things about it! Thank you!!

Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und mit ausreichend sauberen Bettzeug ausgestattet. Die Küchenzeile ist mit einem grossen tiefen Spülbecken, einschließlich einer praktischen Handbrause, ausgestattet. Die Ausstattung ist ausreichend vorhanden. Lediglich die vorhandenen angeschmorten Kochlöffel sowie Pfannenheber waren nicht nutzbar und sollten ausgetauscht werden. Der fehlende Toaster wurde auf Wunsch sofort bereitgestellt. Der übergroße Kühlschrank bietet ausreichend Platz. Das Bad, einschließlich WC, ist ausreichend groß mit einer Dusch-/Badewanne ausgestattet. Die Überkopfbrause läßt sich nicht unabhängig von/mit der Handbrause nutzen. Im Bereich vom Einstieg in die Dusch-/Badewanne tritt nach jedem Duschvorgang Wasser auf den Boden aus. Außerdem ist es ratsam nur bei Tageslicht zu duschen, da der Bewegungsmelder vom Lichtschalter an der Tür nicht den Duschbereich erfasst! Die sehr hilfsbereite Vermieterin wurde sowohl über den Wasseraustritt als auch über die eingeschränkte Lichtschaltung beim Duschen informiert.
