The cottage and location were perfect for my needs. The space was very clean and everything I needed for my stay was available. I especially appreciated the small kitchen where I could prepare coffee every morning and heat up small meals. As a former Oaklander, I brought my favorite meals home in a doggie bag for leftovers. I felt very at home. Rebecca was responsive when I had questions. I brought my two small dogs with me and we enjoyed the property and the neighborhood for walks. The onsite parking was perfect and I felt very safe and secure the entire time. You cannot hear any highway traffic, but the onramp is very close. The location is perfect for your adventures around Oakland and the East Bay.
