The Zen Den is tucked into its own end of a 1,031 sq ft modern, design-forward condo shared with your hosts—two quiet, work-from-home professionals who live on-site. Though compact, the Den offers complete privacy and a sense of retreat, with thoughtful touches that make it feel like your own sanctuary within a shared space. 🌿 Private & Peaceful Located at the far end of the condo, the Zen Den is acoustically buffered and visually secluded—ideal for remote work, deep rest, or a mindful recharge. 💼 WFH Optimized for the Weekly Commuter Designed with the working professional in mind, this space offers blazing-fast 931 Mbps WiFi that handles video conferencing with ease. Because your hosts also work from home, the environment is curated for quiet focus during business hours—making it a reliable home base for your work week. ♻️ Eco-Conscious Design From low-impact lighting and natural textures to plant-based amenities, every detail reflects a commitment to intentional, sustainable living. 🚍 Bay Area Ready Steps from the bus line to BART—San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland hotspots are all within easy reach. 📶 Comfort Meets Clarity Enjoy cool AC and curated details like cozy nooks, calming art, and movement-friendly design that help you decompress after a long day. 🏡 Rooted in Hospitality Your hosts—residents with deep Bay Area ties, including a first-generation professional—prioritize calm, clarity, and security. Living and working on-site, they offer a quiet, respectful presence and are available for support if needed, while ensuring your stay remains private and effortless. A bus stops right outside the property, connecting directly to BART—just steps from your door—making San Francisco, Berkeley, and the greater Bay Area easily accessible within minutes. For smooth navigation, we recommend sticking to main roads like Adeline and Mandela Parkway and avoiding back streets or alleys.

Welcome, my name is Ciph. I am a first-generation professional native to the SF Bay Area and I am passionate about sustainability and tech-forward living. My co-host Matt and I live onsite and love welcoming curious travelers, remote workers, and urban explorers into our ecosystem of calm and clarity. We enjoy hosting because it allows us to share the rhythms of West Oakland living while offering guests a peaceful, well-designed retreat. Whether you're here to recharge, explore, or work remotely, we’ll interact based on your comfort level—always available for support, but never intrusive.

Getting Here & Getting Around: I am located near the eastern end of the Bay Bridge, with the West Oakland BART station just steps from your door—making San Francisco, Berkeley, and the greater Bay Area highly accessible within minutes. For a smooth arrival, we recommend sticking to main roads like Adeline Street, Mandela Parkway, and 7th Street, especially if you're driving. West Oakland has a patchwork of industrial back roads that can be confusing, have pot holes, or are poorly lit, so it’s best to avoid side streets, back roads and alleys. Public transit is a breeze, and rideshare pickups are quick and reliable from the front entrance. The BART system is the best in all of the SF Bay Area in West Oakland!
