Janina's cottage house was the perfect launch pad for my business trip turned long weekend. Check in/out was a breeze, the place was immaculate and snacks were waiting for me on arrival. When I requested an iron, a new one appeared within hours; Janina was responsive and friendly at every turn. Easy access to the highway and solid walk to the Telegraph shopping corridor. If you want an authentic slice of city living, this is the perfect intro to Oakland. Would easily stay again!
