Zoe's house is very nice, comfortable. The upstairs bedroom I stayed in, the Morning Room, feels quiet and calm. Zoe has explicit instructions for how to use the facilities, which she clearly provides for the newcomer, and she has written a short guide too. The house is thoughtfully organized, and provides well for a visitor's needs. It's also pleasing and interesting aesthetically, as is the back garden and deck. I was there without a car, just walking or using Lyft, and I found it to be a good base for accessing both North Oakland and Berkeley.
