The Reveal

Near LGBTQ+ SceneCozyGreat for Fitness LoversCentral location

For weekend travelers who want a quiet space that's close to everything - this room in the upstairs unit of my house is waiting for you!

Your space: A small private room with a chair that folds out to a twin bed. Thick mattress topper and bedding for a comfortable sleep.

Shared spaces with owner: Living room, dining room/office, kitchen, full bath, small home gym, and best of all...balcony/deck just outside your room!

Please note that access to the deck is through the room, so owner will be going in and out during your stay. Also, there is a privacy curtain for the room but no door - the unit is on an open plan, and only the bathroom has locking doors.

No smoking of any kind indoors or on the deck.

Plenty of street parking with no restrictions on weekends. Contact me with any questions!

I'm a single gay man who has lived in Oakland for about 25 years, and have owned my home here for the last 15. I've been employed full-time as a contract technical writer since 1997. My line of work allows me to work from home. I raised my two sons here in Oakland, and they are now grown and moved out. I'm taking advantage of my "empty nest" to explore some different parts of the country and the world. As a parent and homeowner, I'm responsible, clean, and quiet. My favorite "hobbies" are reading and walks.

Nearby Attractions

This is a residential neighborhood, fairly quiet. House is just off 40th Street so some traffic noise.

Oakland's Temescal and Uptown districts are within walking distance, and a major BART transit station (with trains to Berkeley and SF) is less than two blocks away. Ramps to major freeways are less than five minutes away.

Downtown Oakland now hosts six LGBTQ+ bars, and the White Horse on the Berkeley border makes seven. You can walk or easily BART/car share to the whole LGBTQ+ scene from this location!

Parking is limited to two hours during the week. From Monday-Friday, you need to move your car to a non-permit zone between 10AM and 4PM. No restrictions on weekends. Visitor parking permits are available for $50 per month (or $25 for 14 days). I need to order them at least a month in advance. Please message me if interested. There is also unrestricted parking within a few blocks of the house. I can provide a map.

I had a great time staying at Joe's room during my visit to the Oakland-Emeryville area in late August. He was very communicative leading up to and during my one night stay in his home, and he was a wonderful conversationalist. He had lots of recommendations for places to visit if I wanted to explore the area's nightlife, and he was gracious as a host with providing a light breakfast for me in the morning. The room is great for a solo traveler, and I'd stay again if I were in the area.

I was Joseph's first guest, but I know I will be the first of many! He wants to treat his guests the way he likes to be treated from his past experiences, and it shows. Communications and check in were great. The description and pictures are accurate. The curtain separation wasn't a problem for me at all. Joseph provided a nice continental breakfast. I also enjoyed our conversations throughout my stay - including visiting a nearby bar. The location is great! I highly recommend his place !
