Sunny Family Friendly 2 Bd1 Ba Sleeps 6, Safe, Fun & Walkable Grand Lake Oakland

We have a charming, family friendly, 2 bedroom 1ba apartment near the Grand Lake theater and Lake Merrit. The apartment is located in a Craftsman era home, near Lakeshore and Grand Ave in Oakland, which are two very popular avenues with lots to offer.


The living room is bright and spacious and includes a new queen size sleeper sofa and flat screen ROKU TV, Wi Fi is also included. There is also a full size dining table in this room.

The first bedroom has a queen size bed that is very comfortable. There is also a vanity, dresser and full closet. We have a toddler mattress, Graco Pack n Play, baby bouncer seat, and large wooden activity cube/toy for small children stored in this closet for your use, if you happen to be traveling with kids.

The second bedroom has a futon with a queen size mattress, that can be used as an extra seating area or it may be converted to a bed. This room also has built in closets with ample storage and extra bedding. Also, there are some games in the closets, available to use.

The bathroom was recently renovated and has a shower over tub. It's clean and nicely appointed. The eat in kitchen is set with a small table for 2, that also has a leaf to expand out to seat 4. The kitchen is fully equipped with all your basic cooking tools and utensils. It has a full refrigerator and freezer, full oven with stovetop, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker.

Our neighborhood has a great sense of community and is very walkable, with many restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops all within a few minutes. We have a Trader Joe s market and Safeway grocery store within walking distance. And every Saturday you can walk a few blocks to the Grand Lake Farmers Market, which is the best market in the area, hands down! There, you will find organic produce, a variety of foods and entertainment. It is also a quick 15 minutes to downtown San Francisco and only 10 minutes to historic Jack London Square in Oakland, by car. The AC Transit buses run to the Ferry Terminals at Jack London or to BART, so it is easy to get around with or without a car.

A Hidden Gem in the Lakeshore Neighborhood
So many good things to say about this wonderful abode. I stayed on the main floor (two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, living room...all very spacious with high ceilings). The moment I walked into this house, I felt at home (reminded me of my 1920 house in Seattle...in fact, this house was built in 1922 and has the same hardwood floors as my home. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen has everything: glasses, cups, bowls, pans, microwave, gas stove, refrigerator/freezer and cute little nook table. There are spices in the cupboards and the hosts stocked a bit of food for me in the refrigerator (nice touch). The bathroom had shampoo, soap and many towels and washcloths...no need to bring your own. There is an ironing board with a new iron. The house is VERY QUIET. I slept great each of the eleven nights I stayed. Plenty of pillows and bedding. The house is located only two and a half blocks away from the small, but bustling, Grand Avenue area where there are many restaurants. Also, a great bookstore (Walden Pond Books) on Grand, just a few minute walk from the house. I also spent a lot of time at The Grand Lake move theater...again, just a few minute walk from the house. The neighborhood is super cute and very walkable. There are a lot of nice houses in the area and I felt safe walking around at all times. The owner, Jennifer, was incredibly responsive to all of my messages. She was really on top of things, answering all of my questions within minutes. A+++++++++

Fine but…
Pros: The place was spacious and in a good location. Cons: everything seemed secondhand or worn, ants in the bathroom, no top sheets on the beds or any spare sheets in storage, and two windows had broken locks which I immediately alerted the owners about. They initially responded by asking for details but then stopped communicating with me for over an hour. I opened a case with VRBO customer service and then the owners came up with a solution but they didn’t even offer a discount for the inconvenience. Wouldn’t stay again.

Great Location
Could not have asked for a better place for my friend and me, who were in Oakland to attend a wedding. We did not have a car, so the convenience of having lots of restaurants and a grocery store within easy walking distance was very much appreciated. It's also close to several bus lines including at least 2 that will take you to/from the MacArthur BART stop, for those using SFO. The single bathroom is easy for two non-coupled people to share because it is separate from the bedrooms. I would definitely stay here again, and my friend said he would move in if the owners would let him rent it! Since he lives in NY, that's just talk, but it says a lot about the place.

We had an enjoyable 4 night stay here. Listing as advertised, and had sleeping option and toys for our 2.5 year old. Also very walkable, which is great in general, but especially with a small child. Would stay again.
