Great!!! Just great! If you read the listing description, it's exactly what you get and then some. The Retreat is modern, but very warm and comfortable. The queen bed is very comfortable. The linens and towels are top quality. It is in a quiet, beautiful, safe, neighborhood. The place is also very quiet and restful. Besides the amenities listed, the hosts supply some goodies to get you started on your visit. The hosts are welcoming and available to answer any questions or concerns. You are greeted when you arrive and are given a brief, but informative tour.
The Retreat is a short walk to restaurants, shops, groceries, etc. On Saturday morning there is a great farmers market located nearby. The lake is also a short walk away.
Parking, which is very trying in many Oakland neighborhoods, is very accessible on their street. In fact, we were able to park right in front of the house the four nights we stayed.
We hope to be able to stay here on our next visit to Oakland.
