If you are visiting the Sheffield Village in Oakland, you might be able to leave your car behind! Richard's quiet home was only a few blocks from my son's house, and BART and buses are close by. Even though the usual technical venues were considerately provided, I was so happy to read in bed after an active day with my 2 year old grandson. There was a choice of tub or shower, but I could not pass up the big old deep bath with lots of hot water. And if you're lucky, you might get a cupcake surprise.
