Great place! I stayed in Jessica's cottage for a week and it was fantastic in all ways. The location is a few short blocks from two of Oakland's best business districts with lots of great restaurants and shops. The cottage was so comfortable and quiet, immaculate (I have sensitivities to mold and mildew - no traces there!), and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking. New washer-drier. strong wifi and a nice patio. Jessica and her husband were helpful and friendly. I hope to stay there during my next visit to Oakland!
