Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lake Merritt

Kit was a great host! She was with responses and the home was perfect for our family of four. We had no issues and will definitely stay here again when we visit our family in Alameda!

A great quiet place to spend the weekend. The neighborhood was peaceful and the townhouse was spacious. Our host was very helpful and communicative. Definitely will have to come back.

We were stuck when our rental property on another booking site was not habitable and we found Will's place and it was available. It was exceptionally clean and quiet and had a lovely, private backyard sitting area which was beautifully landscaped. Great master bedroom with views, huge bathroom and massive walk-in closet - all squeaky clean with plenty of towels. Will's house is very private despite being in a cul-de-sac and is not overlooked by any house. It was a very bright and sunlit house and we really enjoyed our time there.

We had a great stay at Caroline's Cottage while visiting our daughter that lives in the neighborhood. The Cottage is just like the pictures , very nicely decorated and not much clutter . Very comfortable beds with good linens , plenty of towels too . The kitchen is fully equipped to have meals at home if you so wish to do so. The house feels very peaceful and is very quiet , we loved that ! Caroline was a very friendly , responsive and helpful host . We did not encounter a single problem the whole time we stay there. We will definitely be back . Thank you , Caroline for hosting us.

Absolutely perfect stay! Alan’s and Anna’s place is perfectly tucked away in the redwoods, yet a quick walk to a beautiful wooded park and restaurants. Home was beautifully decorated, kitchen fully stocked and Beds and linens were so comfortable. We enjoyed the easy communication with both Alan and Anna who gave us great suggestions for hikes and places to visit. We have 5 people, 2 Adults and three teens and we fit perfectly in the home. Would highly recommend to friends and family wanting to visit Muir Woods and San Francisco.

One of the nicest units we've stayed at with beautiful views and a beautiful-but-functional internal decor including fresh flowers. From the chefs kitchen to the heated bathroom floor (!!) the unit was excessively enjoyable to stay in. Lots of room to entertain, or just relax with the family. Tim was responsive and thoughtful, welcoming us with a fun beverage in the fridge and surprising us with some local farmers market berries that were delicious. Our name was even on the buzzer, really making it feel like home.

Kevin and Catherine's place is exactly as pictured. They were incredibly responsive during our stay and went above and beyond to accommodate my twin infants. The outdoor amenities for kids were fantastic—super kid-friendly! We’d love to stay again.

So cute, a storybook cottage, indeed. I looked forward to every minute we spent there. We had amazing natural preserves, restaurants, and shopping to choose from - a big draw, but we looked forward to all the time relaxing in this cottage, especially in the evening.

Amazing home in one of the best areas of SF Potrero Hill is a gorgeous area with some amazing restaurants. Reid’s home has everything you could need and more including 4 roof terrace areas! Stunning on a nice sunny night. Highly recommend

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

Heather's place was stylish, comfortable, generous in size, and extremely convenient for visiting my daughter at UC Berkeley. I especially appreciated the desk by a lovely window where I could do some work. I hope I can stay here again!

This is such a lovely studio. Super comfy and spotless. The bed is very comfy, the kitchenette was just right for making a quick breakfast, and I loved the deck - could have lounged on the deck chairs for days enjoying the sun and the view. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Quiet but inviting, with some very impressive architecture, and several fantastic little local parks. Everything is pretty steep in the area, and it makes you feel like you're in a different world from the rest of the city. Jan was very responsive and helpful, and we had exactly the relaxing weekend we needed.

great location. Beautiful neighborhood. Nice host. Private, quite and relaxing. Had a great night sleep. Id stay again.

This was my first stay at an Airbnb ever. I spent a month here and it was great. The place is spacious, clean and well-stocked with all the necessities, including in the kitchen. The location is convenient to both Berkeley and Oakland, including the Ashby BART station, Berkeley Bowl and a local gym called Berkeley Barbell Club. I can’t imagine a better host than Joe. He usually responds to any message within minutes, and is proactive in dealing with any issue or answering any question. All in all, I highly recommend it.

I will summarize Renzo's apartment as a combination of a 5-star hotel and airbnb with the price of airbnb only. Extremely great value for money spent. The pictures didn't do enough justice to what I saw. It was super convenient and well furnished beyond regular amenities you find in an airbnb. I was offered a bottle of wine and chocolates on arrival. The heaters in the room and living room were topnotch. The bed is very comfortable Renzo was very responsive with communication I commuted everyday to San Francisco and Renzo's apartment is about 5mins or less walk to the Bart Metro Station. Super convenient

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

A clean and quiet place with a wonderful host! The neighbor was very quiet with nice views. Fantastic stay! Thanks Jiaxin again!

Great communication - amazing house!!! We had such a great time. Awesome to work with and so helpful and could not have been better. We’ll definitely be back.

What a peaceful retreat! Perfect for two people as a home base during a bay area trip. The view was wonderful, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. Couldn't ask for anything else. Would 100% stay here again.

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

Amazing place? Great heated pool, love the house has a lot of stuff and very well appointed and decorated. It has the best palm trees very safe, Our kid loved swimming in the pool. Strongly recommend for any stay! This is our second time here and will come again for sure. Love how the rooms are laid out, bathrooms.

Another wonderful stay in this beautiful and welcoming home. We look forward to returning whenever it’s available!
