Jim + Anna's cottage is the absolute perfect spot for a restful, yet central, getaway in the Bay Area. Honestly, I have stayed in many wonderful AirBnB properties over the years, and this one is truly extraordinary. When you stay at the cottage, you are surrounded by nature and Jim + Anna's beautiful garden. The cottage is filled with natural light, clean, and so comfortable. The bed is amazing. Jim + Anna have somehow managed to arrange the cottage with more intention and care than any hotel in which I have ever stayed (and I love boutique hotels!) All of the design is with the guest in mind, including luggage racks, a closet, plenty of towels and blankets. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, and when I arrived, Jim showed me some welcome snacks that he had left in the fridge. Seriously: so appreciated by me after a long flight, and so generous of spirit. This cottage is a 1-2 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants on College Ave, and maybe a 5-6 minute walk to the train. I really was made to feel at home, and I didn't want to leave when the time came to check out! Treat yourself to a stay in this absolutely beautiful property, and thank you again to Jim + Anna for such a delightful stay in Oakland!
