We spent three weeks in Oakland, and were lucky to find such a perfect spot for our visit. Patricia's condo is warm and inviting, within easy reach of the city and charming neighbourhoods, and though small, could easily accommodate extra guests, and several 'family' dinners with our children. You will need a car to access shopping and other amenities, but we found a commuter bus at the entrance to the complex, that sped us to San Francisco for very reasonable fare. A great way to spend time in the fabled city, without the nightmare of finding parking space!

An added bonus was the outdoor patio complete with barbecue grill, regular visits from two delightful hummingbirds, and a swimming pool and exercise facility.

Patricia is warm and friendly, and worked hard to make our experience a good one.
