Could be fantastic
The location and area were great and made daily walks fantastic. The unit was nice and perfect for my needs, however, could benefit with a little attention to details. Most of the listed amenities were empty (great shampoo, condition and body wash container in large shower but empty) Trash cans had not been emptied and toilet not flushed. Unfortunately, the pictures of the outside space are NOT up to date. The outside has not been maintained and I had to sit on the steps if I wanted to enjoy the outdoors which is unfortunate because it could be a great space. Overall, it met my needs, but I was disappointed with the outdoor space.

Average
Property was not necessarily as advertised. Property is basically a basement of a main house. Property had old food in refrigerator( Boiled eggs, hard seltzers, condiments, lettuce).Property smelled funky when arriving. Bathroom had a leaking toilet, bath sink was dirty and drained very slow. Entire interior of property in need of maintenance.The two towels that were provided smelled sour. Shower was not cleaned very well either. All in all was an ok stay, felt awkward to park in their driveway as well

Disappointed
The communication upon arriving was terrible and instructions to be able to get into the house were non-existent. We arrived and followed directions given by host that led us to no key or pin for the key pad. When trying to get a hold of the host we did not get a response for hours. We finally got information from a neighbor letting us know the host has been out of the country for a month. Don’t host if you’re out of the country and won’t be available to provide a good stay.

Quiet and Quaint
We came in later in the evening. There are a few other rentals on the property as we weren’t given specific instructions to which one. The stairs leading down were very steep. Once inside the suit was lovely and had most of the amenities advertised working. I booked the property in hopes for my husband and I to enjoy the outdoor space. Unfortunately the couches and cushions were all moldy and we just sat on the stairs most of the time. It was a beautiful property with so much potential. Enjoyed the quiet and the lovely landscape and vegetation.

Some Issues, But I'd Stay Again
I would definitely stay again. The apartment had everything I needed and the backyard was beautiful...so cool to see deer multiple times. The three biggest issues were... 1) There are large spiders everywhere. Once you start looking, they are all over the place. The owner could easily do a lot more to take care of the problem. At any given time there were at least 9 spiders within sight when I looked around. Most of them are big cellar spiders (scary looking, but harmless), but there were also some HUGE wolf spiders. One was the size of a 50 cent piece. 2) If you're a dog lover, it's hard to listen to the heartbreaking cries of the renter's dog in the space above this one. 3) Cleanliness wasn't good. It's just a bunch of little problems like smears on the walls, a urine stain on the rug, weird items left in bathroom drawers that were clearly trash, crumbs in corners. Nothing that's the end of the world, but enough that it's definitely noticeable...and fixable with more effort. But even with these 3 problems, I want to reiterate that the pros definitely outweighed the cons. I know a lot of other reviews mentioned all the stairs. But I had a recent major knee injury and still managed just fine. Like I said, I'd stay again.

The place was perfect for 2 people. The only thing that I thought was different was that the bathroom was upstairs. I only say that because in the middle of the night I get lazy and want the bathroom at arms reach. We did not have time to enjoy the backyard even thought the second day was absolutely beautiful spring like day. Enjoyed the stay very much.

Needs some improvements but overall good place
When arriving the host brother met us and was very kind. The biggest issue is what many complained about, steep and narrow stairs to the room and the multilevel of the outside isn’t pet friendly as there is no grass areas and very steep . The front door has quite a gap so ants etc can get in and cold air. The stairs to the bathroom definitely need a more secure railing and better lighting. There is someone above the room as a rental and they were very noisy walking back and forth (big dog that barked and cried a lot). There is a window that has no blind so I had to block it with pillows because (a) privacy and (b) light coming in so you can sleep. The subdivision is nice. Kitchen needs more normal size bowls and silverware (they were very small or huge ones for like noodles and had holes for chopsticks). No hand towel or washcloths provided . Water pressure for sink in kitchen and bathroom shower is awful and took a long time to get hot water. Bathroom sink handles are loose and definitely installed incorrectly, needs to be fixed for sure. Tried to use the washer and dryer provided and unfortunately the dryer kept turning off, I was able to YouTube to fix thankfully. Need bins to keep recycle etc to carry to big bins. Outlets on the right side of couch don’t work. A lot of junk laying around outside area. I believe host will fix issues. Quiet area and overall good place with some things to fix.

With a little work this could be a 5-star property
This apartment is located in a very safe and beautiful historic Oakland neighborhood that has easy access to the freeway while being very quiet and peaceful. The apartment is spacious and the owner, Vin, is very friendly. I want to mention a few items that are preventing me from rating this a 5-star property. 1) Upon our arrival we only received one bath towel for the two of us and received no wash cloths or hand towels. (Vin was quick to remedy the lack of towels, but even so, he only had one wash cloth available.) 2) The bathroom faucet handles were wildly askew, pointing at 2pm and 1pm, when they should be at 9pm and 3pm. The hand towel rack on the wall wobbled and there was only one towel rack to hang both bath towels. A second towel rack would allow the bath towels to dry more quickly. 3) Getting to the apartment required navigating 13 exterior, steep and narrow steps down to the basement apartment, then 1 step up. A hand rail runs along the steps but is impeded by a very thick vine, so this is a safety issue. Because of the steps, this apartment is best suited for someone with a backpack rather than roller bags. 4) The handrail for the dozen interior steps up to the bathroom is very wobbly and does not continue to the top step. This is a safety issue. 5) The light switch for the interior steps to the bathroom is located at the top of the stairs, and because the stairs are made of dark wood, without some way to light the stairs at night, this is also a safety concern.

Lovely apartment in Oakland Hills
We had issues with check in instructions and with the apartment not being cleaned before our arrival but the friendly host responded rapidly and everything was resolved quickly. The apartment is a cute, split level with the bathroom and closet on the second floor. It has everything you need for a great visit, including a beautiful outdoor space that we didn't get to use due to the rain. We would stay here again.

This is a truly gorgeous and charming place. It is in a safe and beautiful neighborhood. The clean, open-concept apartment is lovely and inviting. The bed and leather sofa are very comfortable, and we like the big TV screen (lots of movies and shows to watch). The bathroom is upstairs and has heating for cold winter days. The kitchen is well-equipped for daily cooking. Parking is accessible in front of the property. Vin was a wonderful host. He was always available to assist us and easy to talk to. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Vin, and thank you for the delicious BBQ salmon! We had a lovely time here and hope to return.

We rented the studio apartment for a month and it was a very comfortable place to stay. The apartment was spacious for the size, furniture was comfortable, plenty of towels, a large TV and a very well equipped full size kitchen. The neighborhood was exceptionally beautiful to drive through as you winded up the mountain to Vin's home. The backyard was beautiful with it's multi-level terraces with plenty of places to sit and enjoy the unbelievable view along with all the birds and squirrels. The owner could not have been more accommodating and was just the right amount of friendly! I look forward to staying at this location in the future.
