Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in Lake Merritt

The apartment is big and well-equipped and *very* quiet. Having its own front door was convenient for check-in and delivery. Also the electronic lock makes the check-in very easy. I was in Oakland for a conference on the other side of the lake. It was nice and walkable along the water. Of course, Oakland isn't paradise, but overall a relatively nice and quiet area.

The place was very nice. We have kids & grandkids in the Bay Area and like to visit as often as possible. The place was clean and comfortable but most of all very welcoming. And Ramil reached out to make sure our needs were met. If the need arises we would definitely stay there again

This is our favorite spot to stay when we are in the Oakland area. It is tremendously comfortable and well appointed. We have stayed in many air bnb's, but never one so well equipped and furnished and decorated so tastefully. Everything works; everything is in tip top shape; everything is accessible. And the location, too, is great: walking distance to restaurants and coffee places and most anything you might need. Staying here is a real treat.

This was my second time staying at Karen's place and it was an absolute dream. Karen's place has all you need to live like a local in Oakland. The location was super convenient, and everything I could need was on hand. I can't recommend Karen's place enough, it's a wonderful home base.

Hello all, I am a traveling nurse on a stent at the hospital down the street and this space was just perfect for my boyfriend and I. He works from home and this was a wonderful little writer's nook. The space is lovely, well equipped and neighborhood is very walkable. Close to many bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Easy walk to Piedmont or Grand Lake areas. The hostess is super responsive and accommodating. Do be aware, that the check-in time listed at the bottom is no joke- the building management does not allow check-in's past about 9:00 pm. I had failed to read the small print at the bottom of the listing, but all worked out ok for us- the hostess was so wonderful for helping us out, I just don't want anyone else to be surprised last minute :) 10/10 recommend this place and would stay again!

Nice neighborhood. We enjoyed walking in the nearby canyon and had 2 nice meals in the shopping area that was just 2 blocks away.

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 location! Chase was very nice and her place is very roomy and clean. I would stay there again next time I am in town.

Rin's place is great. Clean, new and just like the pictures. We wanted to stay longer, but sadly it was already booked. Rin is responsive and super friendly. Great stay and highly recommended.

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.

Awesome space in a very versatile area. Wish I could have stayed longer because it was a great base for all the things I was looking to do in the area. Will stay again.

Our family absolutely loved this home. The beds were comfy and gave us rest after busy days in the Bay. The host was responsive. Check-in instructions were easy. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. We would love to stay here again during future Bay visits.

Even before leaving home for our trip, Michelle was wonderful! She answered our questions prior to booking. Communication with her was very helpful and easy. We highly recommend her cottage and hope to stay with her again in the future. The location is very easy to get to off of the highway. It was very convenient for visiting our UC Berkeley student. Street parking was available nearby. Her property is private, secure, and quiet. We felt very much at home and welcomed by her. Her cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage is exactly as pictured in her listing. Michelle’s place is bookmarked for us for future stays!

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.

What can I say, this house has charm oozing from every nook and cranny. It's very homely feeling, and our big family thoroughly enjoyed staying here during our time in San Fransisco and Oakland. The host communicated very quickly, and the house is clean and well decorated, it feels like it was lived in with a lot of love. The main bed mattress is an adjustable Tempur Pedic, something I've never slept on but is prompting me to rethink my own mattress, lol. We met some of the neighbors who were friendly and fun to talk to. There are loads of great restaurants for any time of day in Oakland. We road tripped from LA, national parks, and ended our trip here. The Oakland Museum of California is a true gem, you can spend all day there, as well as Alcatraz, The California Academy of Sciences, and the parks around the area. Nearby towns are gorgeous too, and the parks around Oakland/San Fran are amazing as well. Thank you for hosting!

Great location and impeccably clean.

Absolutely loved the place! The stay was fantastic the host was very responsive, and the instructions provided were clear, thorough, and incredibly helpful

Great location, street parking was pretty easy, very comfortable & clean place

Very convenient location, easy walk to UC Berkeley. Even though it's near a busy intersection, it felt very quiet and peaceful. The unit is much more spacious than I was anticipating and it was nice to have a complete kitchen. Al is a very kind and responsive host. I would definitely recommend!

Very happy with the stay. Nader was communicative, location was safe and location great to airport and city. Would definitely stay here and recommend this place!

It was great stay at Jeffersons listing and would love to stay the listing again :)

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.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully designed place in The Mission. Every detail was thoughtfully curated — from the stylish decor to the smart home features, everything felt both cozy and modern. The space is clearly cared for with great taste and attention. On top of that, the hosts were incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made the experience even smoother. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, design, and a great location in San Francisco.
