Absolutely wonderful funky private guest house. The Bob Marley blessed guest house and fecund courtyard is comfy, secluded and perfect for deep chill mode. The provided parking space on this private cul de sac is a life saving amenity. The newly improved wifi is strong and didn't crash once! The kitchen and bathroom is well appointed and functional. The art & decor is casual and inspiring. Steve is the perfect host, achieving a delicate balance of attentive yet unobtrusive. Check in was a dream. Very Covid conscious to the point of supplying a sterilization station with hard to find antiviral products. That said, maybe don't break out your white glove on the top of the fridge but rest assured the oft touched areas are surgically sterile. With all the other AMAZING attributes you'd be well advised to leave your OCD critique at home. The courtyard is private and magical with all kinds of plants in interesting oversized pottery. The neighborhood is very close to upscale shops and if you saunter a little further you will be able to enjoy a stroll on Piedmont Avenue with all that has to offer. I enjoyed a molé plantain burrito at Baja Taco then walked all the way up to the end of the street where Mountain View cemetery is accessible for lovely and nearly private hikes. Go up to plot 14 for panoramic views of the bay. All a very manageable hour long round trip walk. Doña on Piedmont Ave is a 4min drive or a 15 min walk and offers excellent cuisine and full bar in their expansive outdoor seating areas including an elevated patio/loft that gets you off the street. If you walk in the opposite direction from you cozy hideaway you are equally close to downtown Oakland bars, restaurants, museums and theaters, plus Lake Meritt. Come home to fresh towels laundered by Steve and enjoy a hot shower with strong water pressure and fancy shampoos.
