What a beautiful, serene respite from the city! George and Colleen’s home is atop a hill (that offers stunning views of the Bay from the main road!) in a quiet residential area that requires a car to access. We made several trips into Oakland, which was easy to do, about 15 mins in varying degrees of traffic. We were able to run/walk/drive to several incredible hikes close by.
The space was so cozy and comfortable for 3 adults (the pregnant individual in our party especially appreciated the snacks provided). There was not a door separating the bedroom from the pull out couch/living area at the time of our stay, but we did not personally have an issue with that. The outdoor area is also beautiful - due to fire risk, we were unable to use grill and pit, but I imagine it would be even that much lovelier!
George and Colleen were incredibly communicative, greeting us when they heard us pull up. We loved sharing rousing conversations with George! Both were thoughtful, thinking about our comfort throughout our stay. Thank you for everything!
