Beautiful wooded setting within minutes of restaurants, shops, and recreation trails, all of which we enjoyed. The apartment had everything we needed, and was so comfortable. Loved the balcony with views of the quiet neighborhood. Dennis and Tiiu had it set up with a welcoming gesture that set the tone for the entire stay, which couldn't have been more convenient or peaceful. A fun, eclectic collection of books helped make it feel homey, and even our puppy settled in and enjoyed her first stay away from home! We have relatives living throughout the Bay and East Bay areas, and this was our first time experiencing the beautiful Oakland Hills region of Montclair. We would definitely do it again!
