We had a wonderful stay at Deanna’s place. It is a lovely cottage with a great porch to sit out and enjoy. There were a lot of really thoughtful touches - baked treats that were welcome after our long flight, luggage racks in the bedroom unlike most other places we have stayed at. It is located near a lot of great places to eat, close to Lake Merritt, a very nice residential neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again if we are In Oakland.
