Wonderful Weekend
We flew out to California for a family get together. Sami's place was a wonderful place to stay. It was perfect for us. The apartment is pretty large. It was enough space for the four of us. We each had our own room, two are on the smaller side, one was large. The smaller bedrooms share a bathroom. It was roomy, clean and had everything we needed. There is also plenty of street parking outside. It was perfect for the weekend. I highly recommend Sami's place!

We had 3 adults and we all loved your apartment! It fit our needs perfectly. We had very hot weather and were on the top floor so it was pretty warm but there were plenty of fans to cool the place down. Plenty of kitchen appliances for cooking. Great location for us as we were visiting relatives nearby.

Beautiful 3-bedroom in Oakland, with garden
This rental was a lovely place to stay. The size was perfect and it was clean and bright. And the outdoor garden was a fabulous place to relax.
One small issue was that there is a vintage stove and oven. The pilot lights went out and we able to relight them, with help from the property owner, but there was still a residual gas smell throughout our stay that necessitated keeping the kitchen windows open.
Apart from that, we'd highly recommend it. And the owner was very responsive to any questions and concerns.

The place is clean and comfortable. If you are not cooking it is fine, the stove is dated and needs attention if your going to use it. The owner was very responsive and solved any small issues quickly. We were only in the unit at night and did not spend a lot of time there. It is close to shopping and other conveniences.

Sunny apartment - Great location
Sam was an excellent host for our 3-night stay in April. The kitchen and bathrooms had lots of amenities. The apartment is sunny; beds are comfortable. Street parking was always available. Would happily stay here again.
I love the good sense interior of this property.The kitchen is easy to use! Well cleaned 3 bed rooms. Easy access to UC Berkeley and San Francisco by a car.

Christmas trip with family
I would highly recommend staying at this property. The property was very clean. The host even supplied really good coffee. We had all the amenities we needed. We had a couple of questions for the host and he answered them within minutes after we emailed him. The neighborhood was quiet. The beds were comfortable. If we come back we will stay at this property again. Thanks Sam

A well appointed, lovely home - just right for a family get together. We enjoyed the patio and barbecue. The flat was clean and quiet - everyone rested well. And very convenient to drive to Telegraph for gourmet food, or catch the freeway to travel to other Bay Area cities.

Schöne Wohnung im erste Stock
Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Gegend, war mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet, und hatte sogar einen Garten, den wir mitbenutzen durften. Es liegt nur fünf Gehminuten von der Haltestelle des Busses F entfernt, mit dem man ohne Umsteigen nach San Francisco fahren kann.
