Nice neighborhood with many nearby restaurants in walking distance Also good bus routes The property was roomy and comfortable Would highly recommend it
great visit with our daughter and her family, who live nearby. The Vrbo was comfortable and roomy and was walking distance from a Farmer Joes and several coffee shops and places to eat. Also convenient to the 57 bus.
We were visiting family in Oakland, so really only used the property to sleep in. The beds were very comfortable and the property was clean and quiet. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed our visit and were happy about how accessible it was. My husband is disabled so it was easy for him to get around. The street was very nice. It was an easy walk down to the local main street, where there were some good restaurants.
Super clean. Super great communication. Easy to get to. Great neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful. Felt 100% safe. Lots of room for luggage. Washer dryer is super helpful. Well stocked. Would stay again. Great Host. Beautiful property
Location was perfect. Neighborhood quiet. Clean with all the amenities of home. Next level Host! Was missing some small things like paper towels and facial tissue and the tv remote ran out of battery butt overall everything was as advertised.
Planning for a 2 week stay in the Bay Area for much needed foot surgery we were pleased to find this property located conveniently to medical facility and to family, two sons in Berkeley/Oakland area and one in San Leandro, the property was a short drive to all
The property is immaculate with plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair. The new appliances in the kitchen and the washer dryer were a bonus
and easy and fun to use.
The neighborhood is quiet and well maintained and enjoyable to explore.
All in all this place is a gem!
Extremely clean and had everything. Only spent time basically sleeping in location but it was fine. Only complaints (if you want to call them that) were the following:
1. Requirement to not wear shoes in place. Seems to be very California like (request to not wear shoes). Little annoying but OK.
2. Bed was a bit on the smaller side. Not sure the size but definitely not king. Room size might have something to do with this. Honestly, we should have looked at bed size before booking if necessary. We were OK with bed size.
3. Nest HVAC was a little confusing. But was cool enough for our stay.
On a positive note, the place had a washer and dryer which was awesome. Might want to consider putting a stool to get into top dryer (for someone shorter). The number of towels and sheets was huge. They were great! Very quiet area. Seemed newly renovated and nice place! Enjoyed our stay.
We love the Upper Diamond area! Easy access to all essentials and this VRBO is so clean!The host is responsive to all concerns and readily available.We feel like Kansas Avenue is our home away from home!
Third stay at this Dimond residence in the Bay Area, visiting our three adult sons who all live in San Leandro, Berkeley and Oakland, all within 15 driving minutes away. Perfect for us!
We came out to the Bay Area as a grandson was graduatingfrom HS. Our daughter's small home could not accomodate us all. This property is about a mile from the daughter's and it worked out amazingly well! Great, well kept propertty with no hassles. We will stay here again!
Hotel quality bedding and bath accommodations with a fully stocked kitchen. The host responded quickly and access was seamless. The location was perfect for access to supermarket and freeways for dining and entertainment. Highly recommend this home.
Jide is an excellent host, the unit is clean and very well stocked. Parking is so easy. The internet is speedy, perfect for working. One of our favorite repeat rentals! We just love this place.
