Rosemary's place is an urban oasis. The neighborhood is a bit funky but the blocks/houses around the apartment are charming and well cared for. The apartment itself was very clean and Rosemary and Paula have thought of all the small touches to make the apartment feel like home. The space is very well designed with lots of windows, a comfortable bed, and roomy bathroom with towel racks, hooks, and shelving. The shared outside space is beautiful--lots of plants, little sitting areas, and a hot tub. Nice to have coffee in the morning and aperos in the evening. It is obvious a lot of love and care has gone into creating a warm, welcoming, comfortable, and quiet experience while in Oakland.
