Marilyn and Her husband were great hosts with the cutest cottage-feel guesthouse tucked away in the hills of Oakland. It was sparkling clean with a nice selection of tea and coffee, comfy (new) bed, good WiFi and a high-speed fan that makes you forget there isn’t any central heating or air. We ran into an issue with the WiFi and Marilyn was quick to respond and helped get us back up and running. I had just got home from traveling internationally and when I asked if we could extend checkout so I could sleep any other hour, she didn’t hesitate to say yes. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay, Marilyn. If you’re in the Oakland area looking for a quiet getaway, I highly recommend staying here!
