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.

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!
