Colin & Sarah’s place was so charming and fascinating. It is quite small, but everything is so carefully arranged that it didn’t feel claustrophobic in the least. The shape of the shower takes some getting used to, but after a day or two, we got the hang of it. We stayed for a week, and had a lovely time. The bed was super comfy, although it did tend to get a bit hot for me. Luckily, there was a table fan in the closet. Also a yoga mat, which was helpful after the long days of walking the city! The proximity of the place to the Rockridge transit station was great. It was so nice to be able to get around the city easily by train and bus, and then come back to a quiet and peaceful neighborhood at night. Coming from loud Los Angeles, it was a breath of fresh air to wake up to birds singing instead of revving car engines and horns!
We briefly met Colin and Sarah, and felt immediately welcomed when we arrived late on our first night. They were very quick and responsive when we needed them. Would absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in N. Oakland.
My only advice with this place is to keep the door and screen-less windows closed, as bugs quickly get in! We could also smell a skunk nearby over a few different nights, and boy does that stench come through the windows!
