Virginia's house is just as described in the pictures: big and comfortable.
Piedmont is a beatiful area in Oakland, very convenient if you don't like staying in the noise of the city centre. Views from the road are awesome and her garden is a very pleasant place to relax in the evening or to have breakfast in the morning and getting ready for the day.
Virginia was very helpful from the start. At the last moment we needed an extra room for some friends and she offered one, we didn't have winter clothes and she lend us some polars for all of us.
She was also very helpful when giving us tips on what to do with the children.
I would definitely book at Virginia's place again if we ever come back!
