As a fellow airbnb super host, Danielle sets the bar very high , and my stay in this home has inspired me in many ways .
It is a private refuge perched above the spreading landscape of Oakland , the gleaming Bay and an OZ-like silhouette of downtown San Francisco beyond . The house is surrounded by sky and trees and gardens .
The inside of the house is beautifully furnished , and truly feels like home . The kitchen is well outfitted, with far more than the basic provisions ready for cooking . Danielle left many thoughtful touches about the house and was extraordinarily willing to help in ways that I would consider to be beyond the obligation of a considerate host and more akin to the kindness of a neighbor.
The sprawling terrace is breathtaking and has a wonderful feel from sun up, through sunset, deep twilight, and glittering night. The house is glassy and open to the terrace and beautiful hillside gardens from almost every angle . Inside and outside seemed to melt together.
The bedrooms have wonderful window bays that bring all of this same beauty and light in. It’s as picturesque in the soft misty rain as it is under stark blue skys .
A magical mixture of simplicity, tranquility, graciousness and striking beauty all at once. I hope to come back many more times .
