We highly recommend this sweet Oakland apartment. We spent 10 days in this comfortable, very quiet apartment in the Montclair hills. We live in Oakland and were having some remodeling done on our house and we knew this was in a very nice area - sort of a mountain setting in the city. We had all we needed here, lots of cupboards and storage places to spread ourstuff out. The small kitchen is well appointed and set up for cooking. It's close to the shopping and restaurants in Montclair and a little bit farther to more restaurants and shopping on College Avenue. The hosts were attentive but never intrusive, and we had a regular vocalization from a neighborhood hawk in the tail trees behind the house. We're sure you will like it!
