El Nido—a Magnificent Victorian Home

Architectural elements like the wooden beams and whimsical shapes of the rooms inspired a Cuban approach to integrate traditional styles into the modern updates. Notice the Spanish-Moorish tiles, the charming skylights, and artisanal decor items. It's a very special home. You will feel like you are staying in a luxury spa. Every detail has been meticulously thought out; from the hangers in the bathroom to every appliance, every picture on the walls and the selection of Spanish-moorish tiles both in the bathroom and kitchen. It doesn't matter if you are staying for 3 days, for a week or for longer. The place has been purposely designed for your thorough enjoyment and extreme comfort. You have a full walking closet with capacity to hang as much clouding as you can carry and as many as 40 pairs of shoes. Of course you have top quality linens and towels as well as all the essentials for a 5-stars hotel experience. El Nido es the top unit of a former home; there are other 2 units occupied by very decent and quite families, but they have their completely separate entrances, so you will not be sharing common spaces with anyone; in fact, the entire space is at your disposal and at your disposal only, every square foot both of the apartment and of the private deck is entirely and exclusively for your use. My partner and I are avid travelers; we are AirBnB users as well; hence, we appreciate the availability of hosts as they are locals with ample knowledge of the amenities and less obvious gems of their cities. We want to let you know that we will be happy to be available as a friendly and willing source not only of problem solving, but also of information and guidance. How much interaction is for your to freely decide. Voted one of the 10 most interesting cities in the US by The Traveler magazine, Oakland is a growing area that has a wonderful selection of unique restaurants, shops, and bars. Take in the harbor views nearby and spend a fun day out on Lake Merritt. Lake Merritt Bart Station to San Francisco: Bart takes you to San Francisco (Only 2 short stops, an about 7-minutes ride, and you are in Embarcadero, the very epicenter of “the City”). It also takes you to and from both San Francisco International and Oakland International airports. While this station is only 1.2 away from the apartment, it is a good 25 minutes-walk. It is a lot easier and comfortable if you take Uber or Lift. For those of you more intrepid, there are also bikes or even those city-scooters that people leave anywhere. A major bus line runs down the Lake on Foothill Boulevard (which you catch at the intersection of 7th Ave @ Foothill, only 800 feet away). The same line brings you back one intersection over (@ E 14th). Both streets are one way, so the nearest goes down the Lake and the subsequent brings you back. Nevertheless, as we said earlier, Taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Lyft work quite efficiently and inexpensively in our area. Nearby Stores Some popular grocery store options include: • Lucky's, a natural foods supermarket: less than half a mile • Several Chinese and Vietnamese minimarkets on International Boulevard. Less than 5 blocks away. • Trader Joe's (a specialty market): 2.3 miles Nearby Restaurants We recommend all of these restaurants: • Champa Garden (Laotian/Cambodian) 2102 8th Ave. @ 21st St. (510) 238-8819 Reservation recommended. We love every dish on the menu. • Annapurna (Indian, Himalayan, Nepalese) 948 Clay St (510) 250-9696 • Golden Lotus (Vegan Vietnamese) 1301 Franklin St (510) 893-0383 I love meat, but I don’t miss it a bit when I come to Golden Lotus. You’ll love it. • Kamdesh (Afghan) 332 14th St. (510) 286-1900 Their squash borane and bolanis are to die for • Flora Restaurant and Bar 1900 Telegraph Ave. (510) 286-0100 On the fancy/kind of expensive side, good food and outstanding drinks. • Akat Café Kally (coffee and tea) 1603 2nd. Ave. Great coffee, but the pies of the bakery next door are a piece of heaven
