Rebecca was a wonderful host....friendly, informative..she made me feel comfortable. I felt like her cottage was my home. Nicely furnished, spacious and clean. There was even a lovely garden to sit in and drink my morning coffee. Unfortunately I was only there for 2 nights (I wish I could have stayed longer) The cottage was conveniently located to where my business meeting was held. Restaurants were only 2 blocks away. Although I didn't use it, I believe the bart station was only 9 blocks away...easy walking. On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the best...I would have to give Rebecca and her cottage a definite 10+. If you are ever in the Oakland, California area, you must book Rebecca's cottage. You will not be disappointed.
