We had a wonderful stay at Kathy's place! It's a lovely home with lots of charm and unexpected details like books, games, and a kitchen equipped like home. Kathy is such a thoughtful, welcoming host, attentive to your needs, and easy to contact. When she saw that my grandbaby would be visiting us at her place, Kathy immediately got out a highchair and some nice toys for him. We especially enjoyed the lemons and apples she brought us from her garden. Kathy's place is in an ideal location next to Lake Merritt. It will be our first choice for our next trip to Oakland.
