Such a beautiful, free-standing, charming cottage with a spacious patio area. The space is lovely and warm with lots of dark wood and old world decor. The bed was comfy and the cottage was clean. I loved the invigorating experience of showering outdoors. We usually rent spots with a kitchen, preferring to cook, but because our daughter lives nearby and we could cook there, we were fine with tea and coffee and sandwiches in. The cottage is a block from the magical Lake Merritt, but quiet and private nonetheless. We enjoyed a meal at Coach Sushi, a block away. So walkable! Amy and Dennis exude warmth and friendliness. So hospitable. An all around a great stay.
