Beautiful, Historic Family Home near Lake Merritt

Bed was broken and beds not as advertised. Chairs were broken and power sockets and coffee machines non functional. Not suitable for the amount of people we had in our travel party. Owner was rude and unhelpful.

Could not get either of the TV's to work, we planned to use them to entertain a child so this was very inconvenient

Rooms

The house itself was great, with the location and general facilities.

Boiler emptied a bit quicker than I'd like. Also the neighbourhood wasn't the greatest.

I booked this property in December for middle of February for staying four nights in SF at this property and planning to go to the wedding. We arrived in SF after long flight my family and I drove for more than an hour in traffic to reach the property then when we reached the property and followed the structure of owner guide door code was broken and it was not working. I contacted booking. Com customer service by chat they said I call property owner. I called the property owner and she said try another key box beside the house. We tried it but the box didn’t open. At late night in cold temperature staying outside trying to open doors and contact with booking.com for resolving issues with door code was so disappointing and frustrating to believe that what we should do at this moment. We had no place to stay. The lady who was property agent or owner didn’t care about us and she said she is not at this area and even she didn’t care about it.

The house was nice, quiet, welcoming and comfortable. We didn’t know too much about the neighborhood and were glad to find it was in a quiet and safe area. There are fruit trees in the yard and a great bottle of mead was left for us. Haha hopefully for us. It was not labeled so we just considered it part of the decor for a day or two, until curiosity/intuition got the better of us.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is really charming, very spacious and cosy. It's also very well equipped and the shower is so good!! The area is quiet and very safe. We will stay there again without a doubt if we come back to Oakland.

Beautiful home, spacious and well decorated, with plenty of room for my group. Beautiful garden too! We had a lovely time!

I wish this listing and all the listings I see online had better information about accessibility for disabled people.
