I have a potential deal in Oakland in which I'd like to add a new bathroom if I buy the property. But I don't normally invest in the Bay area, so I have few connections. Any recommendations of contractors that I could work with?

First Question: Do you want a licensed contractor who can GC the job or do you want a few trades people who can work well together but you have to manage.
Second Question: How high end will this be? What neighborhood is it in and what do you anticipate charing for rent?

@Hans Christopher Struzyna Man, I would have replied sooner, but Bigger Pockets doesn't automatically notify me to updates on my own post. I have to click "Follow", which I sometimes forget.
This will be an Airbnb, so I want the bathroom to be fairly high end, but not ridiculously high end. I want a GC so I don't have to manage it. This property is in the Hoover Foster neighborhood.

I don't know a reliable GC for that size of job (I know some UNreliable ones and one I believe to be reliable who does bigger stuff), but message me if you get to the point where a plumber referral would be helpful. I've been working with someone on and off since 2014, and he hasn't skipped town or flaked on me yet.
