House holiday rentals in Lake Merritt

Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

The place was clean and beautiful. We needed a home away from home while construction was going on at our place. And found it here.

Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The deck and view were so beautiful. The home was spacious, clean and well stocked. The location was perfect for the places we wanted to visit and the neighborhood was quiet. We already want to go back!

Wow - we had an amazing stay and loved Job's beautiful home. The photos barely capture the incredible views. 180 degrees views of Mt. Tam all the way down to the Bay - truly on top of world. Pool was bigger than expected, warm water, great covered porch, VERY nice pool house/bedroom & bath. All beds were super comfortable, everything sparkling clean and living room was such a great and comfy area to watch movies or just look at the view with a good book. Kitchen is outfitted (and labeled) with everything you need. Very close to San Anslemo downtown - which is filled with great lunch spots, coffee shops. So much to do in Marin and this is centrally located (note a steep driveway but we had no issues.) Can't think of a single improvement Job could make. I left something behind and he responded that day that he would ship back to me. One of our most favorite Airbnbs ever. THANK YOU!

Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

We loved the place, it had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Mei was very attentive and quick to respond to any question we had. I highly recommend it.

I love this place. My favorite Airbnb to date. It’s more beautiful in person. They have everything you can think of, very accommodating. He even let us check in early. I love this place. We will definitely stay again. And Kenny is so friendly!

Loved this spot! Spacious, bright, clean, private, great aesthetics, awesome kitchen gear. 5 stars all around. Would definitely stay here again. Oh, one more perk: the shower. I’m 6’1”, and the shower heads were well above my head! That’s a rare joy. I came in from the east coast for a workshop, and fell in love with all the gardens & plants in the neighborhood too. Totally different from what I’m used to. Beautiful. The only thing I’d suggest as a traveler is to bring an eye mask for sleeping. The skylights are really beautiful, but they let in light at night and super early morning too. Glad I had mine with me.

We really loved staying at Soa's place.

Athena was a great host! loved the location, walkable to their downtown. Will most definitely be back.

Rin’s place is amazingly beautiful. It is situated near to Target, many eateries, pharmacies and gas stations. The house was clean and very comfortable (just like photos). Kitchen equipped with cooking spices and appliances. Host was responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend to book Rin’s place.

One of the best hosts I’ve had! Super accommodating towards us, and the house had all the amenities we needed. Thank you so much Yasmin!!

Our stay at Nicole’s Air BnB was perfect. We were in town for a family wedding and the layout of the house with its 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was just what we needed. I must say, the photos did not do the property justice. The property was much nicer than the photos. The Lake Merritt area of Oakland is very nice with a lot for the kids to do. I would highly recommend this property.

Safe quiet location close to main Oakland areas. Michelle is a very responsive helpful host. The place itself is very quaint and cozy with everything a guest would need/want. Loved the patio and cherry plum tree in the back!

Second time I've stayed here as it is close to the person I'm visiting, has adequate amenities and is in a lovely walkable quiet neighborhood.

Nathan’s place was lovely and exactly as described - perhaps even better! The place was very clean, comfortable, and had thoughtful touches - extra blankets, pillows, workspaces, excellent character, without being cluttered. Ample closet and dresser storage for clothing, toiletries, etc. We felt right at home and there was more than enough space for our party of three. Bathrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. We would highly recommend Nathan’s place and would definitely stay again.

Es gab ein paar technische Defekte, die aber sofort behoben wurden. Sehr freundlicher Hausverwalter, der jederzeit unterstützt hat. Was uns nicht klar war, dass im selben Stock noch ein anderes Airbnb angeboten wird. Wenn die Türe in der Küche nicht verschlossen wird, kann jeder in den Wohnungsbereich rüber gehen. Grundsätzlich kein Problem, hätten wir nur gerne vorher genauer gewusst. Teilweise war der Nachbar etwas laut aber dies zu normalen Zeiten.

Our stay at the Textile Oasis exceeded our expectations! We had two couples in our party, visiting for a graduation. The decor of the Airbnb was exquisite, with beautiful textiles and art and comfortable beds and furniture. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for 4, but would have been tight with more. Although the neighborhood is not as upscale as some parts of Alameda, the many families and local businesses gave it a very friendly feel. The Airbnb was truly an "oasis" away from the bustle of the freeways and tunnel - and a perfect place to land for a family gathering. We really enjoyed spending time on the deck overlooking the garden. The on-site parking was a real plus and talking with our hosts Jennifer and Andreas in the textile studio downstairs was one of the highlights of our stay.

This place really lives up to its name - Urban Oasis. It should have the word paradise added to the description. I was looking for a place to host international guests and wanted a place which they could rest and have some privacy as they recovered from jet lag. As a local resident, I found it hard to believe that such a beautiful location existed so close by. The backyard reminded me of Hawaii. It was so beautiful and serene. Albena has gone above and beyond with all her unique decorative touches, supplies for the home (from phone chargers to best selling books). We used the kitchen quite a bit and it was stocked with pots, lots of dishes, and cooking utensils and supplies. Albena was so warm and friendly and super responsive and had some great tips for what to do. I even learned a few new things. My guests would have been happy to just stay in the home and enjoy it rather than venturing out to SF. I've already recommended this place to friends. It's so delightful!

We had a wonderful time at this Airbnb. The space was exactly as described and very comfortable. The location was ideal for walking to restaurants. Ringo was an excellent host – responsive, welcoming, and made our stay even better.

Sophia is a wonderful host, responsive and helpful.. The place was situated near lots of beautiful hiking. The furniture was comfortable and it came with a fully stocked kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

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 place to stay working at the nearby hospital, was able to walk to work easily. Safe street parking and the bed is very comfortable.
