Dorothy was an excellent host! She was able to accommodate our late booking, and was very responsive to any questions that I had. The house itself is located in a very peaceful neighborhood, and as mentioned in the listing, has a stunning view of Oakland and San Francisco from the deck! A very unique experience -- the house feels like it could be located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, but it's still only 5-10 minutes from some grocery stores and restaurants, and 15-20 minutes from the larger downtowns of Oakland and Berkeley. Would definitely recommend a stay if you're looking for some seclusion and solitude, while still having access to great options for food and activities!
