This was my first time using Air Bnb and the cottage definitely met my expectations. My boyfriend and I felt right at home as soon as we walked in. In the mornings and at night we would sit out on the porch to enjoy the amazing view. The cottage is walking distance from restaurants, bars, etc. We walked to a bar the first night. The host was very friendly. When we arrived, she had muffins on the counter that she had baked herself, along with some fruit. The next morning, she brought us more snacks. The only thing that was a bit tedious was parking but aside from that, I think I will definitely be staying at the cottage the next time I am in Oakland.
