Hey Amy and Dennis. Sorry for the delay in the review but I got back and had a crazy work schedule and the in the middle of the week Family invaded for my stepsons weeding this past weekend. As usual you guys were great and so appreciate your relaxed and calm demeanor. you really do make one feel welcome. This was my second stay. The rustic cozy feel of the cabin is very comfortable and relaxing. The outside with the claw foot bath/shower, swing, bamboo, flowers and raised garden beds makes it very hard to believe that you're in downtown Oakland and yet 50 yards away is Lake Merritt and countless shops and restaurants all within walking distance. I need to come and stay when I'm not doing a seminar so that fully enjoy just relaxing and moving at a more leisurely pace.
