Beautiful, retreat-like space in the Oakland hills. Wonderful patio, remodeled bathroom, and access to great outdoor hikes and walks. Definitely need a car. Hosts are super thoughtful about the noise transfer from their living space upstairs, but if that is something that bothers you, this probably isn't your place. No laundry on site, but Linda was helpful with the regular washing of bulkier items like sheets and towels during my month + stay.
