Bruce's second floor cottage flat is convenient, comfortable and super clean. It's an easy walk, just a few blocks to MacArthur BART, an area which is in the midst of extensive renovation. Got to meet Bruce when I arrived and everything was easy.
Beds are comfortable and having the separate office space with a big desk was very useful.
The veranda is delightful, surrounded by trees and often with a nice breeze. I did some work on the veranda during the day and relaxed outside at night. We had family coming and going on different schedules and the location was easy to find. An easy walk to great local restaurants in Temescal.
This is a great place to stay in Oakland with easy access to San Francisco and Berkeley.
