I can happily confirm all the glowing reviews of this place. My wife and I found the cottage to be both charming and functional. It is spotlessly clean, and Jim and Anna have furnished it with everything travelers could reasonably want. Of particular note, the bed is exceptionally comfortable. Preceding and during our stay, communications were prompt and helpful, and Jim welcomed us warmly on our arrival. I should also mention that Rockridge is a delightful neighborhood, with easy BART travel to downtown Oakland (tip: take the Old Oakland walking tour) and San Francisco, plus pleasant walks nearby. We walked to Berkeley and up into the Oakland hills for spectacular views of the Bay. In short, I cannot imagine a better choice of accommodation in Oakland.
