The Neighborhood:

This is stately "old Oakland." Neighborhood was designed in the 1920's by the Olmsted Brothers whose father designed Central Park and Golden Gate Park. Each house on the street is unique... story-book cottages, Tudor, Mediterranean and Spanish style homes. Beautiful, mature trees line the winding street. Illuminated at night by original street lamps. Trestle Glen was named for the trestle bridge that once carried the trolley line to this neighborhood which was a popular weekend recreational area then.



Getting Around:

Three-minute drive to Lakeshore shopping area with many shops and restaurants. Walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Oakland. The Historic Grand Lake Theater, one of the majestic theaters from the Golden Age of Hollywood where on some nights the Wurlitzer is played before the previews. One of our favorites is Belanico, they have their own chef who changes the menu every few months to keep it fresh and unique.

The host was delightful. He was available if needed. Bed was comfortable. I told the host it would be great to have a full length mirror. I was dressing for an event and could only see myself in the bathroom mirror. The space had a musty/stale odor. The neighborhood was upscale, safe and picturesque.

Nice but not private

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I cut my stay short as the Host lives upstairs and I could hear everything through the floor. He was playing piano late and talking which was easily heard and kept me up.

Memorable Stay

We travel almost every year to different state and stay in different properties all over the USA and Europe. By far, this is one of the best if not the best!!!The apartment is cozy and has positive vibes. We stayed for a month and we enjoyed every single day in this beautiful place which felt so much like home! The owner is a kind man with appreciation to diversity! He was like a neighbour you have known for years. He is an Artist and paintings on the walls provide warmth and comfort. The owner and the property management check on us every now and then. Our needs were met in a timely fashion. They made sure we are happy! Indeed we were happy and left with memories to cherish lifetime ! Thank you all so very much!

Great Place to Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had renovations done in my house that required me to stay elsewhere, so I found this place. The apartment was clean, easy to get to and get around, and it has a great kitchen and bathroom. I especially liked the neighborhood, which was quiet, lovely, and with easy access to freeways, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, etc.

Unhappy with My VR Host

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It began while trying to check in when it was dark and raining. The code was not correct. Had to contact rental agency (which was a call center) and wait again for a call back for a new code. I have stayed at this property a few times before and have had similar problems: dirty pans, not enough bath towels, no kitchen towels, only two small ends of toilet tissue, blanket found under the bed, no mirror lights or the heat lamp functioning in bath, other lights in kitchen burned out. These all seem like maintenance issues the My VR Host should be responsible for. Is the property owner aware of the issues? It is my opinion that he is not getting his money's worth. And for the amount I paid to stay I don't think I got my value either. I would prefer not to rent through a middleman (company) in the future but directly with Airbnb.
