The cottage was very pleasant and charming. We were very comfortable and slept well on the bed. We made breakfast every morning in the kitchen area. My husband sat out on the porch to read every day. We loved the day/sun light that streamed into the cottage. There is also a nice alcove with a desk. The bedroom is roomy as well. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood, especially at night. There is a nice cafe across the street as well as a clean laundermat run by a nice woman. Jane was very helpful and answered our texts/emails very promptly. Our daughter and husband live nearby, and we enjoyed our walks to their place as well as to Lake Merritt. We were close to restaurants and shops on Grand Avenue. There is a wonderful Farmers Market on Saturdays in town. We look forward to future stays there!
