Dave´s house is located in a peaceful and beautiful part of Oakland, very close to restaurants and shopping and a few minutes drive from downtown Berkeley. The house is clean and comfortable, with a charming and sunny patio in the back, excellent for having coffee, reading and relaxing. Our children are already grown up but I am sure they would have enjoyed playing in the patio, especially in the replica of an old sailing boat. The house is equipped with all basic utensils and kitchenware and has a dishwasher and washer-dryer. It has a lot of light and is in general very cosy and welcoming. Communication with Dave was easy and fast. We definitely enjoyed our stay there while dropping off our daughter to college and will look forward to comin back for graduation, if not earlier.
