There’s an unmistakably bohemian vibe to this character home outside Oakland. With acoustic guitars on the walls, sprawling houseplants and sixties style bedspreads, it’s the kind of place where creativity rules. There are two good sized bedrooms, plus an extra ‘yoga room’ for reading, contemplation, and self-care. Begin the day with some sun salutations before a coffee on the leafy patio with its views of the Piedmont Hills. Spend your time exploring the surrounding area (Grand Lake and Lakeshore are in easy walking distance) or take the short drive to beautiful San Francisco bay. In the evenings, put some folk music on, pour a glass and just feel the good vibrations.

About Oakland

This East Bay city has finally stepped out of the shadow of its hilly neighbour.
