Amy and Dennis are superb hosts. We had such a great trip to Oakland in large part to their hospitality. The cabin is great. Don't be concerned with the outdoor shower...it's very private and comfortable. Amy was very communicative before our stay and they were both there to welcome us. We saw them throughout weekend and they were incredibly welcoming, but the cabin is very private. My traveling companion and I both got amazing sleep - I got to sleep in the loft which is a great little nest and really comfortable. Lots of thoughtful little details...nice bed linens, great coffee, and a great sound system (you can plug your phone in). All this while still feeling like a very quintessential Oakland experience. Amy even drove us to the BART station when we left. Thanks Amy and Dennis...we'll be back!
