Ericka's cottage is lovely and well appointed: with all of the natural light and stylish touches, it would be hard not to be inspired. If you don't already know Rockridge, it's easy-going, full of great shops and restaurants, and convenient--it really is a 20-minute BART ride into the city. I spent an extended stay (more than three weeks) as an east coast transplant starting a new job in San Francisco, and the cottage was exactly the peaceful respite I was seeking after long days at work. I was grateful for the time I spent there, and I think you will be, too.
