My sister and I stayed in this cute cottage Memorial Day weekend and we loved it! My favorite part was the location. The neighborhood is VERY walkable with lots of restaurants, shops, and a Trader Joe’s. BART was about a 5 min walk. There was also plenty of street parking available. We’ve stayed in other neighborhoods in Oakland and this was by far the safest I’ve felt.
As for the actual cottage, everything was as pictured. Plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable with enough warm blankets and pillows. There is also a space heater! The kitchenette had all the basics for quick meals and coffee was also provided. There was also a bistro table in the BEAUTIFUL garden right outside the cottage. Street noise was very minimal (if any) and we never had a problem with loud neighbors.
Erin was a great host! I didn’t get to meet her, but she was very responsive and checking in was a breeze. She was quick to respond when I left my wallet after checking out.
If I ever need a place to stay in the area, I would definitely book again! (:
