Chantelise's place is awesome, you would never guess you're in Oakland when you're in the backyard. There is a super sweet and friendly black lab, cat, and chickens that roam the area... they aren't noisy at all, just a helpful heads up.
I live in the same neighborhood as Chantelise and rented this place for my brother and dad who were visiting. The space is cozy, so I wouldn't suggest any more than 2 people staying. Overall, they loved it -- quaint and cabinesque.
