E.J. was a great host, very responsive and accessible. The house was a great location and met all of our needs for a small staff retreat for our group of 3. The bedrooms are nicely spread out and the two bathrooms with showers made it even more convenient for everyone to get ready in the mornings. The private garage was a bonus and welcomed given what can be a somewhat challenging area to park during the evenings. The home was clean , welcoming, quiet, and the art gives it an eclectic feel with a lot of character. I would definitely stay again in this Oakland home!
