Jeremys cottage was a great little place for my wife and I to stay while transitioning back from Europe. A Central Rockridge location on a quite little street in one of the best Oakland neighborhoods. We were so surprised how convenient and perfect everything was. The studio itself is very spacious , and open with high beamed ceilings so the size did not bother my wife and I at all. The overall layout was designed very well and was very efficient for two people. Its quietly located in the back of the house with its own private garden area, private entrance, seperate cottage, and well off the street. Lime , lemon, fresh herbs surround the grounds and Jeremy and wife were so nice to let us try some.
The interior was recently completely redone in a very professional manner. You have heated floors witch were great, a very functional well designed Kitchenette perfect for two, and a fresh clean bathroom with new everything. As they say the details count and on our arrival we had fresh Granola, coffee, sugar, fresh towels, and high end hand soap along with lots of other xtras. Its always a good sign when you can see that the owners really care about the comfort and enjoyment of their guest.
The location was perfect for service related items. There is a Safeway, Trader Joes, great local Grocery Store, fresh Seafood/ Butcher store, Bakery, Petes Coffee , Cole coffee, and basically all kinds of fresh foods to buy. If you have Bike or car Wholefoods is 10 min or less away. We really enjoyed our selves in our long stay.
Lots of transportation close by. Walk 8 minutes and Jump on Bart and be in San Francisco in 20 minutes or less. If your a cyclist this is the gateway to Mt. Diablo also with Berkeley Campus is just a short ride down College Ave. The neighborhood was very safe and clean with lots of trees. A perfect location to explore Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco all in one.
Our host were perfect as far as check in , check out, payment and basically everything a host should do. Rockridge was tons of fun and Jeremy really helped us out in our relocation back to the states.
