Unique tiny house w huge windows & deck, near lake

Newly constructed (Aug '17) ~ we welcome you to a unique tiny house in the sky! It is surrounded by a huge shared outdoor deck. The tiny house has tons of light, high ceilings, a Murphy bed, full bathroom, "tiny house" kitchen, and bonus beds in a loft space. Walkable, green, central area.

COVID: unit shares NO air with anyone else! (no ductwork etc).

It is a peaceful neighborhood here and we respect quiet hours after 10p.

Click through the pictures to get a sense of the tiny house in the sky! It's hard to explain, but it's basically one big room, with two loft beds that are visually separate from the main murphy bed (but not from each other).

NOTE that the loft up a ladder and "crawl height" well under 5 feet/ 150cm.

There are neighbors living downstairs! Please no music, loud conversation (but normal voices are fine) or dancing/jumping/etc between 1030p and 830a.

It's within a 3-unit co-housing community~ we each have our own private homes but often share meals, the garden and good company. Everyone you might see around is friendly.

PARKING- we *usually* have a paid spot available. it's $20/day or $100/week if booked in advance, plus an extra $25 if booked last minute. There's free parking on the street which is easily available most days (not 2nd and 4th monday and tuesdays- street cleaning), a little hard on weekends, and often very difficult by evenings. Most people prefer walking/BART or Lyft/Uber.

Tiny house with micro kitchen (sink, microwave, hot plate, blender, tea pot, dishes). Full bath. Large shared deck, and shared laundry. Guests allowed by day only.

We are definitely around to help you if you need something.

Best messaging is through Airbnb (so that we both get it), but do call, or knock on our kitchen door (straight across the bridge) or front door (top of stairs) for anything urgent.

You may see us enjoying a meal on the deck. Feel free to say hi.

We definitely want let you enjoy your private stay.

Quiet yet walkable! Too many restaurants to count, Whole Foods and Trader Joes, the massive Saturday farmer's market. You're in the middle of Oakland's street life, and near downtown and BART, but on a quiet street.

All within a few blocks:
- Lake Merrit - a beautiful place for biking, running, or walking.
- Park with a playground
- Dozens of restaurants
- Yoga
- Massage
- Coffee etc.

Very central. BART/subway is roughly 15-20 minutes walk, and a 24-hour buses to SF is 3 blocks over. 10 minutes walk to the free Broadway shuttle, that goes right to the ferry terminal to SF.

The new bikeshare system (GoBike) is about 5 minutes away, Lime and Bird are the scooter companies in the area.

Please note the pictured funky ladder is the only way into the space. Most guests like or even enjoy it, but it's not for those with mobility issues.

Best to pass your luggage through while standing next to the ladder, then go up.

We are often here and can help with luggage so please message or call us when on your way if you'd like that.

We live in the main house and do use the shared outside deck. Your tiny house (a bedroom, bathroom, loft, and tiny kitchen) is completely private however.
Kind neighbors downstairs. We ask you plan to be at soft voices level between 11p and 8a. Silent hours in the outside deck are 10p to 10a. We love hosting, but hate disturbing great neighbors.

Make sure you saw the fun/funky stairs (the ones up and through the large window onto the deck)! All access is via those. (There's also stairs within the unit, up to the loft.)

Guests beyond number reserved are only allowed on property by day, or by written permission within the app. Commercial photo shoots etc must book for 5 people.

Same Day Bookings
Please let us know when you need the room and ask you be understanding with check-in times for same day bookings. We can always accommodate bags and offer a bathroom but having full access to a clean room might come later.

Cancellations- Make sure you're aware of airbnb policy. We do understand most people can cancel within 24 hours for free.
