Alison's place is a haven of peace in a charming bucolic neighborhood of Oakland, the house is surrounded by nature and many hikes start nearby. Super quiet. This is exactly where we wanted to be during pandemic time (also: there are a lot of car break-ins in SF and we wanted to stay in a safe place for us and for our car - which is the case at Alison's). The house is welcoming with all amenities and an awesome deck. Highly recommended.
