Charming location in a quiet residential neiborhood in the hills. A short drive to downtown Oakland and not too far from SF, without feeling like you’re in the city. Guesthouse has a private entrance, while attached to the back of the main house. Virginia is helpful and insightful about the Bay Area and provided good and comfortable amenities. The room was spaciaous and comfortable, with a fast acting central heater for cold weather —bathroom is heated too, thank goodness! We had a lovely time.
