Cozy Pill Hill Stay
Riza and Miguel are excellent hosts! We stayed 2.5 months at their place in Pill Hill, and it was absolutely a "home away from home" situation. They were incredibly communicative throughout the stay. Riza chatted with me through the app and helped navigate extending our stay and working out parking when there were some street closures. Miguel came and did minor fixes/repairs as needed (door locks, cat door, toilet seat, etc.). My dog Meryl LOVES Miguel - it was very cute to watch that friendship develop. :) Meryl and I took a lot of walks in the area. As an Oakland resident, I was surprised how close so many parts of town are - since I'd always driven to them separately. We walked over to restaurants (and the marathon) on Piedmont, to restaurants up Telegraph (checkout Co Nam and TallBoy), and Home Room off 40th. Another plus - the person that cleans the apartment is lovely (also made friends with Meryl) and she does a great job.Highly recommend Riza and Miguel's stay in Pill Hill!

A most Excellent stay in Oakland CA
We flew out from Maryland to attend a college graduation at UC Berkeley. The clean, uncluttered, well provided property was the perfect location for all the wonderful things we did during our stay. I could walk to a local grocery store, drive to Berkeley in 2 minutes, hop on the highway to Monterey etc...The neighborhood was excellent and there was a designated parking place for our rental car. It all added up to a great experience! The host communication was also excellent!

Convenient & central spot in Oakland
We enjoyed staying here with our two kiddos while visiting family in the area. The duplex was clean and stocked with all the necessary basic amenities. Its central location made it convenient to get around and the host was attentive and thoughtful. Thank you!

Sweet and immaculate stay in Oakland
I am so grateful for this property. I’m excited to have a place to stay in Oakland that is clean, bright and fresh. When you look at a map, you may be concerned about the neighborhood… the property is on a well-maintained street. I felt perfectly safe in this sweet little house. Everything was well-maintained and clean, bright and open. The owners were responsive and fantastic. I will stay here again and again.

Clean modern home in a great location
Riza's is an amazing host and her place is clean, modern, and comfortable. Riza was super responsive to messages and checked it with us to make sure we checked in okay. The check in process was easy and the off street parking was a plus. The home is located near a lot of shops and restaurants, but still located on a quite street. The beds were comfortable and made for great rest after a long day of activities. Our family would stay at Riza's place again and recommend it to anyone traveling to the Oakland area.
