Asking price was too high to attract a buyer.

You're going to be airbnbing to startup employees who are in town for a brief time to meet with the team, or people being flown in for interviews in this case, probably not too many vacationers (though that's just a guess on my part, I don't have direct experience with it).With a little bit of luck you can get a 3-4 bed in west oakland for ~400-600k, which should cashflow at those numbers easily.
