About this house rental
The mansion has been used for dozens of photo and video shoots by Williams Sonoma, Cost Plus, Loews, Gumps, Pottery Barn and others. As all this implies, the property is just beautiful, with grand rooms, and towering ceilings.
We have done a huge amount of redecorating in the past few months, and the Mansion is more spectacular than ever. We can now provide at least 11 bedrooms. There are more in the house, but they may be in the process of decorating. If you need more, please ask if they are available before you book. Also, I only provide the number of bedrooms required, to avoid confusion for the cleaning people as to what rooms they should clean.
Here's an overview of the mansion (again, depending on your needs and redecorating status).
Entry Floor, all definitely available now (entered one flight of stairs from the - Big Kitchen, two dining rooms, two foyers, and living room. Five bedrooms. One bedroom is VERY large, with a King bed, and lots of seating. The other four have queen beds. This floor has two full bathrooms, and they are definitely available. The Kitchen has many pots and pans, blender, plates and bowls, glasses, cutting boards, cutlery, and microwave.
Second Floor (at least 5 bedrooms available NOW) - the main bedroom floor: Nine bedrooms, all with Queen beds. It also has four bathrooms, all with showers.
Top Floor - Five bedrooms, all with Queen beds. And two bathrooms, both with showers. This floor also tons of comfortable lounging space, with at least five couches, PLUS three twin beds.
Outdoors:
There are vast, beautiful outdoor spaces, with several furnished areas, in which to lounge and just enjoy the great many sunny days in Oakland (far sunnier than SF). It is VERY IMPORTANT not to be outside socializing (or otherwise making noise outside) after 9 pm. This is a residential neighborhood and this is required by law.
Interaction with guests
I love helping people have a great time in our beloved Oakland and nearby San Francisco. Please ask me anything you like. At the same time, I know many guests will prefer just having privacy.
Other things to note
Please see additional people charges. Those charges also apply to guests who don't sleep at the mansion. They will be reduced if people will be there for only a few hours.

Beautiful and truly unique place. Owner was very quick and easy with communications. All bathrooms are newly renovated while bedrooms maintain victorian chic. Great for friends/family reunions.

We had the most amazing time at the mansion. I hosted a 1920's murder mystery dinner party for my friend's birthday there and it was absolutely perfect. The house fit everyone super comfortably and the decor/ ambiance was perfect for getting into the theme.
I saw some reviews say the kitchen was small, but i disagree! We had ample space to set up dinner, make cocktails, and roam around to play the game.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to host a larger group or dinner party. Everyone had a spectacular time!! Definitely one of the coolest parties I've ever thrown.
The host EJ was super accommodating and helpful. He let us check out later, which was much needed & appreciated when only staying one night.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2020
Our extended family decided to take this historic place for our annual get together after Christmas, a time all 22 of us can get together. This year we decided to try an urban experience. (We are ranchers in the Central Valley of California.) This was our 20th year going somewhere, usually near the beach.
The rooms in the mansion are amazing, with architectural details everywhere, tall windows that let in the sun on a winter afternoon, with lots of space to spread out . We watched the San Francisco Forty Niner game one night, some played games, our son brought his guitar. The third floor enchanted out granddaughter from Tennessee, with areas to play games or sit around and visit. Beautiful dark beams cover the ceiling, and windows look out to the bay. The bedrooms are large, the beds comfortable.
There were a few negatives. The kitchen is small for a crowd, and has poor lighting in the evening, for slicing up onions or preparing something on the stove. However, we had pizza one night from Philomena, and it was outstanding. The only bathroom on the ground floor was in the middle of a remodel but we managed.
The neighborhood was noisy for two nights around New Years Eve. Lots of firecrackers and the sound of guns going off.
It would help if the owner could put up a hand rail along the steps leading to the entry.
I give it 4 stars because of the few negatives. Over all the house is beautiful and perfect for a reunion or meeting.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2019
The property was perfect for my wedding weekend. The house was large enough to accommodate most of the wedding party - many of which came from out of town. The weekend was very special since everyone was under one roof. Additionally, we took our "first look" pictures inside the house since it's very unique with beautiful features. I highly recommend the house for large gatherings due to its size, beauty and proximity to Lake Merritt.
