Peggy's home was perfect for our trip to Oakland. The Lake Merritt area is teeming with great food, lively parks, a farmer's market and a diverse crowd of people enjoying the lawns and paths around the lake. Her home is just a few short blocks away from the lake, yet the neighborhood is very quiet. It was perfect for us; we were mostly away during the day, but when it came time to come home, it was quiet and we rested well in the comfortable beds with great bedding and pillows. Her sweet dog and cat were an additional perk.
