This spot really is a gem! Its located in a great part of Oakland, with hip cafes and restaurants and parks close by - but the apartment is tucked away on a nice mellow residential side street. The apartment itself has a secluded feeling of being almost in the trees - its a cool little apartment built into the framework of the bigger house above it, and overlooks a lush garden. Michael and Gem are very welcoming, and have really good attention to detail. They provided us with bathrobes, had a heater in the bathroom for the cold winter, provided us with coffee and cream upon our arrival - all the little details that just add up to make the place feel super comfortable. It was the perfect spot to stay and I hope I get to chance to come back!
