About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Quiet, Elegant Apartment With Beautiful Views & Terraced Gardens

Elegant one-bedroom flat with French doors, terraced gardens and a view of San Francisco Bay and Mt. Tam. Enjoy your trip to Oakland in this Mediterranean setting — you'll truly feel like you've had a vacation!

The Space

Luxurious apartment in Upper Rockridge with separate entrance, soothing gardens and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay. French doors open on to a private terrace with views. Take your morning coffee overlooking the multi-level Italianate gardens with fountain, paths and bougainvillea-laden trellis.

The apartment features one bedroom with queen-sized organic bed, side tables, walk-in closet, tiled bathroom, living room and kitchen. A pull-out sofa in the living room can accommodate additional guests (no more than 2 adults in party, please).

We supply spices, olive oil, vinegar, ground coffee, an assortment of herbal and caffeinated teas, along with a full kitchen stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and plateware.

Location

Conveniently located just off of Broadway Terrace, you're in easy reach of everything the city offers while nestled quietly above it. Rockridge's restaurants and boutique shops are a 6-minute drive, and downtown Oakland is only a few minutes further with easy freeway access nearby.

* Note that this apartment is at the base of two sets of stairs. While most guests won’t have any difficulty with them, the stairs could be challenging for folks with bad knees or other similar ailments.

Beautiful house and location
Who knew Oakland was so charming! The house and gardens were so nice, and parking was relatively easy. The location being a bit out of the way meant it was quiet and felt safe.

Beautiful apartment and location.
Apartment was very nice, it was quiet, the grounds were beautiful, and the location was excellent. Hosts were very responsive to the few questions I had. I would highly recommend staying here as long as you are fit enough to handle the many stairs going down to the apartment.

Quiet, comfortable apartment
We stayed here while visiting family in Oakland and very much appreciated this apartment. It does indeed have a beautiful garden and lots of light. The description is quite accurate except that there is no hot tub. The owners are friendly and not intrusive. The apartment is well stocked and very pleasant, even in rainy weather. We will happily return!

This apartment is in a hilly and safe area of Oakland. It is quiet and private feeling. The apartment opens directly on to a beautiful garden that feels very isolated. It is a great place for catching up on work or reading. It is very comfortable and clean and has everything you need for coffee/tea/cooking.

Great Location!
Our July vacation was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Apartment was extremely clean, plenty of space and fantastic outdoor gardens with wonderful views, and easy parking. The photos of the location were true to what we saw when we arrived. We felt safe and found it easy to venture out on day trips including catching the BART into San Francisco. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I strongly recommend this location if you are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area.

Lovely Spot for a 3-night visit
This is a charming spot in a quiet and nice neighborhood. The family lives upstairs and are very unobstusive and easy. The backyard, which the unit opens to, was our private space and was just as pictured. It is perfect for two people, although there is a sofa bed. Would certainly recommend if available.

Lovely, quiet hideaway in Oakland hills
Spacious, well lit, fully equipped 1BR apartment in lovely hillside neighborhood just a short drive to Piedmont, Montclair and College Avenue shopping and dining districts. For a nice day of exercise and exploring, walk the mile or so down to College for the superb baked goods at Market Hall. Excellent bed. Walk in closet. Spacious shower. Easy, free street parking— comparatively safe for cars because the upscale neighborhood is a maze of narrow streets and avenues. Note to seniors: 38 steps, well lit, down to unit from street. Would be tough if you are not in fairly good shape.

Delivers as pictured
This sublet rental is part of a beautiful home in the Rockridge Hills. The garden looks and feels like a garden in a Tuscan villa. The unit was very clean and well appointed in terms of household items for your every need away from home. The closet is a very generous size with plenty of hangers, drawers, suitcase stands etc. The bed is very comfy, kitchen is well stocked. (dishes, pans, glasses- more than enough of everything!) Freeway entrances are close by ( via car) . Very quiet neighborhood. I particularly liked that the unit smelled (and was) very clean, all the bedding, towels etc were not laundered with detergents that carried a harsh or strong smell of any kind. The owners were very response and available. As former Oakland residents on vacation, my husband and I found this rental to be everything we hoped and wanted it to be.
