Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Oakland

We stayed in the upstairs unit which was bright & comfortably furnished. There is a cute outdoor space behind the house which is shared by guests in both units.

A great, well set up, space in a great location!

This place really lives up to its name - Urban Oasis. It should have the word paradise added to the description. I was looking for a place to host international guests and wanted a place which they could rest and have some privacy as they recovered from jet lag. As a local resident, I found it hard to believe that such a beautiful location existed so close by. The backyard reminded me of Hawaii. It was so beautiful and serene. Albena has gone above and beyond with all her unique decorative touches, supplies for the home (from phone chargers to best selling books). We used the kitchen quite a bit and it was stocked with pots, lots of dishes, and cooking utensils and supplies. Albena was so warm and friendly and super responsive and had some great tips for what to do. I even learned a few new things. My guests would have been happy to just stay in the home and enjoy it rather than venturing out to SF. I've already recommended this place to friends. It's so delightful!

We absolutely adored our stay at this property! The home was impeccably clean and tidy, which immediately made us feel comfortable and welcome. Every amenity we could have needed was thoughtfully provided, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like a cozy haven—after long days of exploring, coming back to this space was such a joy. We rested wonderfully here, thanks to the peaceful and homely environment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable, well-equipped stay that feels just like home. Many thanks to our host for creating such a lovely space!

Lovely spot! Great for groups. We'll look forward to staying again at our next Cal graduation.

I only wish I could give more than five stars. Words can’t begin to describe our host. Without exception. Forever grateful for the superior level of kindness and hospitality. Thank you Michelle and Ryan.

Amy's listing was great. It looked just like the pictures and was very clean. Only problems we had were with the parking situation, there was barley any parking in front of the house, but we would manage to get lucky and find a spot close enough. Overall a very good experience:)

This was a perfect base camp for us for our two day stay in the Bay Area as we celebrated/attended our daughter’s graduation from USF. The home looked as pictured and was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was so cute and we loved keeping the windows open and just feeling the night breeze and felt perfectly safe to do so. The neighborhood was walkable and we found some great wats in the area too.

Beautiful Airbnb! The hosts were very responsive and helpful! Only challenge was the amount of stairs but that was made more challenging by our amount of luggage. Anyone with one to two bags wouldn’t have a problem.

Incredible spot. Lots of space for Alameda, new amenities and very clean. All we could ask for and more!

This was my second stay at Sheila’s property and I would certainly come back again. It is a charming and unusual space with interesting design but also is convenient and comfortable. The private patio outside the unit is a nice feature in mild weather and also allows getting lots of fresh air inside by leaving the door ajar when you are inside. The location one block from Piedmont Avenue means that you can easily walk to dozens of shops and restaurants or just stroll and watch people going by. Everything is literally at your doorstep.

Dennis & Tiiu's place was perfect for our needs. We stayed for a week while in town visiting our son, who lives only a few minutes away, so it was a perfect location for us. The location was peaceful and quite. The house was cozy and suitable for two people. It was a little smaller than it looked in the pictures but again, it worked for the two of us. The amenities were as described. We would definitely stay again.

Urban oasis is the perfect description for this residence. So quiet. Restful, verdant backyard patio (blooming Angel Trumpets were heavenly scented!), sweet dogs and comfortable and attractive furnishings. Was able to cook my breakfast every morning and easily heat up leftovers with well-outfitted kitchen and high-end appliances. Loved how eco-friendly the home is. Murphy bed in the living room was perfect. Walkable restaurants nearby - esp. Homeroom's mac & cheese! Loved everything about this place. We will definitely stay here again when visiting relatives nearby.

Great place for my 1 year old and I to stay while visiting friends and family in the bay.

We had a lovely stay! Room was very spacious, clean, and the garden was very beautiful. Street parking was very easy to find, and the neighborhood was very safe.

Perfect place for my husband and I to relax and unwind while visiting our son and helping him move out of his heavy apartment. We were able to stretch out, get some personal work done, walk to the market nearby for groceries and sundries, and just feel like we had some breathing space (as opposed to being confined by a hotel room). We would definitely stay here again.

Nice cozy place and good location.

Great place to stay while visiting the East Bay. Beautiful neighborhood: quiet, safe, and easily walkable to a variety of restaurants/shops. Very convenient for public transportation or driving as well. The apartment is spacious for a couple, much more room than you’d have in a basic hotel room. Loren was proactive in sending check-in instructions and provided a thorough guidebook both for the place itself and the surrounding area. No complaints!

The stay at was fantastic! The place was clean and cozy, and had everything needed. Nader's prompt responses and helpfulness were appreciated. Staying here is highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and conveniently located. Mill Valley is a beautiful town. I would highly recommend this property.

We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

Amy met me to give me the keys and walked me through the condo to explain everything. It was a very personal approach. She also reached out to me the first morning to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Everything was spotless and very high end. The place was very quiet and peaceful. I especially enjoyed the patio. I would highly recommend Amy's place to anyone looking for a base to enjoy San Francisco. I intend to stay again the next time I need a place in San Francisco for a few days.

Terrific location, lovely space, it was the perfect place for our SF getaway!

I read all the reviews online about Kimberly's place so I knew it would be nice. The large closet was awesome, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen. The only problem I had (I knew this ahead of time) was hearing the owner's kids above us. Most of the time, no problem and never at odd times. I did feel the parents were as courteous as possible for 2 small kids but it was hard to take a nap a couple of times. I am used to a single home so this may play into it. I still recommend their place but keep in mind, occasionally, you hear people upstairs as also written in other reviews.
