Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Oakland

10/10 would recommend, and if visiting the area again would look forward to returning to stay with Carrie again. Nice, calm, safe neighborhood with optimal privacy. Carrie was in touch the whole time and made sure our stay felt like home. Thank you!!

We really loved staying at Soa's place.

This was a great spot! In addition to having beautiful taste in decor and being friendly and responsive, Jennifer was also super understanding when I had to modify my trip because of a change in plans.

Great stay no problems and great spot to stay at if you’re staying in Oakland!

Overall, I had a great stay at the cottage! In a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood (great for walking your dog). The cottage itself was spacious - loved the mini-split AC units and the small enclosed front yard. Highly recommend staying here while in the bay!

Karen’s place was great! Easy check in, and checkout , very clean, great spot if you need somewhere to crash up in the hills of Oakland :)

Very spacious and comfortable. Tastefully decorated. Lots of light. Conveniently located to everywhere we wanted to go. Responsive host. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Beautiful Airbnb! The hosts were very responsive and helpful! Only challenge was the amount of stairs but that was made more challenging by our amount of luggage. Anyone with one to two bags wouldn’t have a problem.

I stayed in the little studio for 2 months while on a research visit, and it was truly a home during this time. It's walkable to the university and excellently connected with public transport. It's in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of activities. The house has a beautiful back garden. It is not super-well insulated and you can hear your neighbours, which was a tiny drawback. The studio is tiny, but extremely comfortable and cozy. I appreciated the access to laundry and the host's responsiveness whenever I needed something.

Dennis & Tiiu's place was perfect for our needs. We stayed for a week while in town visiting our son, who lives only a few minutes away, so it was a perfect location for us. The location was peaceful and quite. The house was cozy and suitable for two people. It was a little smaller than it looked in the pictures but again, it worked for the two of us. The amenities were as described. We would definitely stay again.

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.

I had a wonderful stay at Jess’s place! She was incredibly friendly and communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything so smooth and easy. The home itself is beautifully decorated—charming, cozy, and with a lot of thoughtful touches. It’s in a central location, close to public transport and surrounded by great food spots, which made exploring the area super convenient. All the amenities were in great condition, and I was pleasantly surprised to even find lint rollers available—such a small but thoughtful detail that really stood out. I’d absolutely stay here again!

Francisco and his team were absolutely amazing! The place was beautifully decorated, incredibly stylish, and thoughtfully designed with everything you could possibly need. It was spacious, comfortable, and in a perfect central location—close to everything! The team was super responsive and accommodating, making the stay seamless and enjoyable. I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience!

I was expecting somewhere reasonably cosy but nothing extra special considering the price. I was very pleasantly surprised. It was much bigger than I had thought, with a really comfortable living room with loads of options for watching things. The bed was very comfortable and it had a full stocked kitchen. Really felt like a home away from home and wish I could've stayed longer.

Mary’s place was very comfortable and homey, and Mary was extremely accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend if you would like a place to stay in the bay!

Easy walk to Lake Merritt or 12th St BART stations. One block from Lake Merritt. Quiet building. Perfect.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was immaculately clean upon arrival, which we really appreciated. The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The location is also a huge plus—just two blocks from a beautiful park, perfect for a morning stroll or some fresh air. One thing to note is that this unit is on the third floor, which was fine for us but did come with some challenges. We have two small children, and it was difficult at times to keep them quiet for the tenants below. If you’re traveling with little ones, just be mindful that noise can carry. Also, the WiFi was not working during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient, but hopefully, that was just a temporary issue. Overall, a great stay in a well-kept space with a wonderful host. Would definitely recommend!

Had an excellent stay, everything one needs for a fun trip to Oakland/Berkeley

Great place to stay while visiting the East Bay. Beautiful neighborhood: quiet, safe, and easily walkable to a variety of restaurants/shops. Very convenient for public transportation or driving as well. The apartment is spacious for a couple, much more room than you’d have in a basic hotel room. Loren was proactive in sending check-in instructions and provided a thorough guidebook both for the place itself and the surrounding area. No complaints!

Nader, We love the Deco and the Vibes of the home. Toilet has heated seats and in-Built Bidet spray for your Ehem-ehems! Toaster,water boiler,many pans, oven, microwave, he has everything u need. I asked about Aircon🙈. We did. not need aircon as The weather is so nice and cold at Night (11degrees 13-18Jun). We loved that Nader is a responsive and responsible host. My 15yr old son had a home accident and broke a hanging light fixture at the dining area as he stood up. We informed Nader of the issue. Super-host asked "firstly, is your son okay? Does he need medical attention? I have a first aid kit in the home". Super-host Wins!!! (Inna haza larizkunna mallahu minnafad. Amiin Amiin Amiin) - our doas to Allah SWT to grant you more Rezki for providing us a safe great home to stay. Boys wanna come back to SFO and re-stay at your home again! Thank you Nader

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.

had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a 5-minute commute to work, which made my if so much easier. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and kind, as well as very understanding & above all accommodating.always available if I had any questions and genuinely made me feel welcome. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant stay in the area. Would definitely book again!

Ehson's place was a little haven during our stay in San Francisco, located in a wonderful neighborhood. As with any old building, you might hear the upstairs neighbors sometimes, but it's all absolutely worth it for the view and the cozy atmosphere. The sunset from the rooftop terrace is addictive. It’s a great spot: you can walk everywhere, and the cable car is right there. There’s also a great little grocery store on the corner, and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
