The place is gorgeous. Exactly as per the pictures and description. All comforts and modern conveniences have been thought of and catered for.
Kay Marie was the hostess with the mostest. We arrived after a long flight, having eaten nothing for 6 hours. To our delight Kay Marie had the fridge stocked with snacks - ready and waiting for hungry and weary travellers.
Truly a delightful experience.
In terms of location, Oakland is a little way away from San Fran but it's a very pretty area- full of character. An uber downtown costs around USD30 (providing it's not peak hour - so after 7:30pm). A taxi back, around USD40.
There's a bus a few blocks away that for USD4.50 goes all the way into San Fran and runs until 12am
I would highly recommend this "modern urban retreat"!
