I needed a place for my mom and her best friend to stay while they visited me in North Oakland since my apartment was too small to accommodate them. I'm so glad Susan and Ralph let me rent the carriage house for them. Susan and Ralph are fantastic and thoughtful hosts. I would recommend staying at their carriage house without hesitation. The location is just a couple blocks from BART and near highway 24 but yet quiet, private, and peaceful. The carriage house itself is great for a couple of people, is nicely appointed, and has everything you could need while visiting. It was very clean and everything was in great condition. Right outside the carriage house door is a small creek next to which Susan and Ralph have put a table and chairs, making a perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon tea. Communication with Susan and Ralph was excellent and prompt before and during the stay. Thanks!
