We stayed at Kate's cottage for 3 months while we were transitioning to the bay area for work. We had no idea what to expect with the Rockridge area and were overwhelmingly surprised by the incredible accessibility that Kate's cottage provides. We didn't need to drive our car the entire time and there is free parking right out front. We walked to the grocery store and all the shops and restaurants on College Ave. which is a very quant area! The Rockridge BART station is less than a mile walk and from there you can get right into downtown SF in about 20 minutes. There are also multiple buses that can get you anywhere you need to go. We went for a lot of walks in the neighborhood including Temescal Regional area, Redwoods Regional Park, Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve, and Lake Merritt.
The cottage itself was nice and private with plenty of space for the two of us to spread out. A VERY comfortable bed, high ceilings, lots of space for us to have a yoga mat out, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and never had any issues with something not working. Plenty of HOT water in the shower as well!
Kate was a very accommodating host always available if we needed anything. We highly recommend the Rockridge Cottage to anyone coming to visit the bay area (short or longer term stays!) THE BEST!!!!!
