We came on our Harley’s and was concerned about parking. We were very pleased at the available and secure parking.

We had a great family get together here. The home was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The host was quick to respond and care for our needs.

Great communication with the owner, very open and helpful. Would love to have had hand towels available for kitchen. Great stay! Loved our time there

Really nice and affordable home. Great layout, comfortable beds. Short walk to Oakland Hills and a beautiful view of the Bay Area.

Great house and very easy, quick communication. Everything was tidy and lots of thoughtful touches. The location is just a few miles from many sites. Would definitely stay again! Thank you 😊

Pros- Central location, quiet neighborhood, cleaning supplies available, nice home decor, cosmetically updated Cons- The home was not properly cleaned. There were used razors in the bathroom, bedsheets were dirty, mattress pad in one bedroom had stains and hair throughout the bed, kitchen scissors had BBQ sauce on them, the microwave and stove were dirty, the home had a bad smell, and there was no surface cleaning done. During these times with COVID, I take cleanliness seriously. I'm not thrilled with just home decor but more importantly the proper cleanliness of the home. When communicated to the Host he advised that he will make sure his housekeeping company is cleaning the home properly. Me and my guest went to Walmart for extra cleaning supplies and a candle and cleaned the home before unloading. That was very inconvenient. There are no blinds in the living room so when the lights are on people on the outside can see right through the home. There are no blinds in the back with the washer and dryer area and neighbors can see right in the home. This was very uncomfortable especially with us all being women. I hope the owner updates the current blinds in the home and install blinds in the other areas. Also, before our 11am checkout we received our final notification. It was communicated to us to load the dishwasher with any used dishes and to take the trash out to the curb before housekeeping comes at 11:15. Me and my guest felt that that was asinine. As adults, we are very good at cleaning up after ourselves. No, I cannot speak for everyone else. However, if housekeeping is coming 15 minutes after our checkout I don't feel it's right to ask your guest to pretty much clean your home before departing. If we decided to stay in a hotel room service is not going to send us a reminder to clean our room and take out the trash. I hope this review is taken into consideration and necessary changes are made.

This cute and comfortable home was just what we needed as launch pad into SF where we were attending the Chinese New Year Parade. The house was clean and well furnished and the owner was incredibly easy to communicate with!

The home was clean and exactly as displayed on the website. It had everything we needed to ensure a wonderful family getaway.

This home was a comfortable stay! My family and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely use this VRBO again! I especially love the artwork!! I love hip-hop and r&b and it was so cool to see the artist in this art!! The neighbor even gave us oranges from her orange tree, as she’s originally from Texas!! Thank you!!

The urban renaissance was beautiful, hip and super clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rebook.

Great

4th of July weekend is when my sisters, nieces, and I stayed in Urban Renaissance. The interior of the home is just as pictured. Beautifully renovated and adorned with hidden gems like children's books and urban artistry. The location of the home is in an area that could use some TLC. Coming from another state I was unprepared for the closeness of the adjacent homes in the city. The blinds and floor length curtains provided us the level of privacy that made us feel very comfortable. Jamar, the host, was communicative and quickly responded to any questions we had. The mattress in all rooms were of memory foam which lulled us all in a coma like sleep. Close to supermarket, fast food, and pharmacy stores. Next time in the city we will undoubtedly stay here. Thank You.

This was a delightful property for us to end our vacation at. Easy indoor layout and all updated to new appointments throughout. Excellent washer and dryer for super fast loads of laundry. The back yard area was spacious and inviting. Easy communication with the owner and very good stay!

First I would like to commend the Host on his Excellent hospitality in providing a place away from home. The beds are extremely comfortable, the Decor is pleasant , the appliances are top brand and the property is well kept. I will reserve this home again.

Awesome home was prefect for our stay. Thank you for offering a great home away from home.

We were in town for my brother's wedding and this house was one of the highlights of our trip. The decor is great, even my teenager was impressed. It's very spacious inside and all of the beds are so comfy, even the sofa bed. Jamar did a great job letting me know how important our comfort was for him as a host.

Jamall was extremely helpful and a great host I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the area

This is a great property. It has been professionally updated and well stocked, it even had toothbrushes . The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. The quaint backyard was a plus, we sat outside in the evening and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I would definitely stay here again.
