Trixie's cottage is an oasis amidst the busyness of Oakland. The cottage is decorated for comfort and has a lot of style-very well thought out as to what you might need. It also has an outdoor eating area which is lovely. The location is in a well kept residential neighborhood near Lake Merritt. If you don't bring a car it is quite a walk to the bus stop or BART but manageable. Definitely a hidden gem!
