Let me start by saying that the pictures don't do this place justice. When you walk in it's just a dream. From the beautiful wood that covers nearly every inch of the space, to the cute little patio, and the unusually spacious bathroom. I think it's a great place for whatever kind of experience you're trying to have while in the Bay Area. Pretty quiet neighborhood, but a short walk away from a lively street. Can take an AC bus into Downtown Oakland or a nice long walk around the lake to a couple of BART stations if you're trying to get further out in the area. Be ready for a workout though to navigate the hills around the neighborhood.
Kay Marie gave us a warm welcome upon our arrival and was quick to reply to our messages on the way in to the city and upon checkout. They have also provided a really extensive binder with tons of recommendations. Would gladly stay here again whenever we come back to Oakland.
