It’s a great time to start the new year 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 summer concert at The Greek Theatre. My home is a quick ten minute drive to/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 and celebrate PRIDE is literally a 15-minute drive over the Bay Bridge, and wine country is a 45-minute drive away- so basically LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Can’t wait to meet you! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina ### Things to do - Gym - Basketball nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114290000/114286000/114285941/72295ca7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-bedroom townhome in walkable Rockridge close to UC Berkeley and SF.

Simone is the most incredible host we've ever had the pleasure of renting from, the home is cozy and wonderfully appointed, the kitchen is well stocked and the location affords numerous nearby cafes and markets within easy walking distance. Simone was immediately attentive to even our most minor inquiry, and made us feel very welcome in her home. We will definitely look to stay here again on future visits to Oakland. ##### Ron S.

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! ##### nicole h. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yaser H.

First, the owner was incredibly friendly and made the check-in experience amazing. Explained everything and even provided suggestions of local restaurants. Just A+. The house was superb - clean and the best equipped place I've ever stayed at. There was literally nothing we could have asked for. I've stayed at fancy hotels that didn't have as nice amenities. Truly an amazing house, in a great location, with an incredible owner. I can't recommend this place enough! ##### Yaser H.

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! ##### Nancy V.

Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant and convenient 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. ##### Debra H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul R.
