What a diamond in the rough. Nestled in the corner at the backyard behind a classic looking older two-story home and surrounded by raised garden beds and black bamboo you very quickly forget that you are in downtown Oakland. The rustic feel created by hardwood floors exposed beams and sleeping Loft above kitchenette give the feel of a secluded cabin retreat. the outdoor clawfoot tub with shower in my opinion added to that feel and charm. less than a hundred yards walking distance to Lake Merritt as well as many options for dining this is a rare find. Amy and Dennis we're gracious and accommodating hosts and were very enjoyable to talk to.
