A "gem" is the perfect description for Edward's place. The location can't be beat. It is a block or so from College Ave and the Rockridge Bart. Trader Joe's and the yummy ice cream shop, "Smitten" are a short walk. Edward thoughtfully left many items to make our stay perfect. We enjoyed the great coffee and wide assortment of teas. The Yummy bagels and fresh OJ were another plus. The unit is nicely organized and laid out. I always travel with my rubber "dish" gloves and was pleasantly surprised that Edward had some there. The Garden is beautiful and relaxing. As an avid gardener myself, I really appreciated his attention to detail. He has a great selection of reading material and a jigsaw puzzle that I made time to put together.
Edward offers off the street parking and real plus given the parking restrictions on his block.
We definitely hope to return when we visit our daughter in Oakland againn.
