I loved this place, quirks and all. I am pretty sure you will not find another rustic, historic house, surrounded by towering redwoods in the yard, in Oakland, just a block from the Berkeley border, 10-15 minutes to the Mission or the Financial District by car (outside of rush hour), with great internet and TV, washer/dryer and dishwasher work perfectly, and the house even has stained glass features in a few of the windows. And sliding barn doors that still work! The best part is the way the light plays on all the surfaces throughout the day, courtesy of skylights and strategically-placed windows. It's charming. Christopher was welcoming, available, helpful, and explained the fascinating history of the house and property. We were there for six weeks and I was grateful to be in that liberal districts during the 2020 election. The neighborhood is wonderfully diverse and friendly.
