Vacation rentals with a patio in Lake Merritt

In my 8+ years of using Airbnb and staying at airbnbs in 4 countries. This was probably the BEST one. The space is super clean, modern, and welcoming. Will definitely try to rebook here on my future trips

Very clean, very quiet. Did feel like one was at the edge of a forest. Comfortable. Good wifi.

AMAZING place that was immaculately clean and well-appointed. Thoughtfulness extended all the way down to how intricately the towels were folded. Top-class place with a top-rate host.

Very clean, welcoming place. Alexander’s apartment was very comfortable for 3 adults, with well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Alexander answered my questions super promptly, he is a great host. We highly recommend his place.

We stay in the welcoming arms of Linda's "Green Queen" whenever we are in the Bay Area...or I should say, whenever it is available because it is so very popular; deservedly so since it is the best, most comfortable, most beautifully appointed vacation rental we have ever experienced over many years of travels and rentals. I have taken to checking her calendar and scheduling trips around those dates to ensure it's availability and our total comfort, pleasure, and convenience. We can't thank you enough, Linda, for creating such an amazing home away from home.

Great stay clean place. Only issue was someone staying upstairs jumping and walking really hard early in the morning. and during the night.

Our hosts were very responsive and very kind. They covered all the bases — had everything we needed and the space had stylish furniture and chic design. We loved relaxing on the sofa and watching games on the TV or the bed. The swivel stand is great. The bathroom was spacious. I savored my morning coffee with the views out the patio, beautiful. We’re looking forward to returning in the future.

John's place was perfect for our short 2-night stay in Oakland. The location is on a beautiful street that just took about 15 minutes to walk to College Avenue and visit all the shops and restaurants. The Rockridge BART station is also about a 15 minute walk. It was very peaceful with a super comfy bed and great shower.

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

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.

We loved our stay at Alli and Abh’s place! First of all, the beds were extremely comfortable! We needed a place to stay the night before a flight so it was perfect. They put a lot of sweet touches throughout the house. Really well decorated/designed, and really adorable. You can tell this Airbnb is something they enjoyed creating together and they genuinely want their guests to have a positive experience-which you can really feel! Highly recommend staying there!

Ena's cottage was adorable. The living room is spacious; the bedroom and kitchen were also great. We really appreciated treats and coffee in the kitchen. The old-fashioned bathtub was cute, but a bit challenging for 2 older people. Everything was well done and very comfortable. We were able to walk to a coffee shop and market which was a real plus. We'd love to stay again!

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!

I only wish I could give more than five stars. Words can’t begin to describe our host. Without exception. Forever grateful for the superior level of kindness and hospitality. Thank you Michelle and Ryan.

Although I didn’t do any cooking this trip, I loved that everything was there to make a meal and eat in.

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!

Nice cozy place and good location.

This is an absolute gem, a retreat on the green slope of Panoramic hill, which makes you feel like you are in the country. 10 minutes downhill is the campus with all the amenities; a few minutes up hill are the beautiful hiking 'fire' trails. A glass on wine on the terrace, watching the sun go down over Berkeley, was a very special treat. Inside, the house is spacious, thoughtfully and tastefully decorated, with low key but beautifully designed pieces, in keeping with the Arts and Crafts heritage of the neighbourhood. Also, the layout and furnishings are very practical, and everything is there for a comfortable stay (eg the kitchen and bathroom are well stocked with consumables, the duvets and sheets are lovely). Initially, the noise of the heating coming on kept me up at night (I am a light sleeper), but then I turned it off, and all was well again. I can't recommend this place enough, am tempted to come back to Berkeley just to stay there again.

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

C Simply outstanding in every way: this place is true class and comfort in the clouds. The two of us indulged in the glorious views for hours, and then stepped out to easily access San Francisco’s most famous neighborhoods. The penthouse could be the best way ever to love this city. Plus, the decor is amazing and the accommodations met all of our needs. We are so grateful to have spent some time here , and to our host for his ease of communication and hospitality.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and conveniently located. Mill Valley is a beautiful town. I would highly recommend this property.

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!
