I really enjoyed my stay here - it's in a great spot centrally located in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland on a pretty quiet street. I had an easy time parking there on the street. The back yard is great - quiet, sunny, feels private and stylish. I love the little art studio out building too. Inside it was clean, well appointed and had cool stuff in it: the antique sound system which has a name I forget was super cool. There were interesting books in the landing on the way up the stairs, I read part of one about "Not so big homes" which was interesting. The bed is super comfortable and firm, and the kitchen had real equipment - good pots and pans, newer stove, deep sink, and lots of tools you may need. There was even a full Brita pitcher of chilled water in the fridge which was a godsend - I was really thirsty coming from the airport! The little espresso maker is a nice touch as well. Just a great place.
