We had a charmed seven weeks there. It really is stylish! We were very comfortable, with the well-equipped kitchen, the garage parking, the comfy bed (and day bed), the convenient double-desk study, and above all the balcony, which had a lovely view for having a coffee in the morning and a cocktail at sunset, overlooking the Haddon Hill neighborhood, with a view from the Oakland hills on the left to the SF Bay on the right.
The wider neighborhood is pure Bay Area. We loved the walks on Lake Merritt down the "secret stair," the Gardens on Lake Merritt, the Lakeshore Farmer's Market on Saturday morning, and the delightful shopping and entertainment area around the theatre.
Toby was truly a 'super' host. He had the whole place and visit organized really well. We only needed to contact him a couple of times, for small things, but he got right on it when we did. I heartily recommend this place.
