I was looking for a comfortable place to call "home" for an extended month-long visit to the Bay Area. This cottage in the Redwood Heights neighborhood is a gem. Close to freeways, but on a quiet private drive, the cottage offered everything I was looking for and more. It was clean and well appointed (Perhaps because I enjoy cooking, I especially LOVED the open kitchen!). I enjoyed spectacular views and sunsets from the large kitchen picture window overlooking Oakland and the Bay. Even with the rainy weather that dominated during my stay, the cottage always had plenty of natural light. For a one-bedroom cottage, it actually feels quite spacious. I entertained 5 friends one evening for dinner and we were quite comfortable.
Sarah & Porter are respectful and generous hosts, providing many little touches that made my stay comfortable (plenty of daily supplies like soaps, shampoos, paper products, lush towels and extra bedding). This was my favorite place I've ever stayed at through AirBnb and I look forward to returning to the Cottage on my next visit. Many thanks to Sarah and Porter!
