Staying at the cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was cosy & quiet, in a beautiful backyard but incredibly close to the main street of Rockridge, as well as the BART station. They cottage is full of windows but there are a number of large shade trees around & I never found the sunlight an issue & I'm a light sleeper. In fact, it added to the serene atmosphere. The cottage was it's own little house complete with anything you would would find in any upscale hotel complemented by the personal touches left by Jim such as an assortment of teas & coffees & fresh fruit in the fridge. Something that is really important to me is that the bed was extremely comfortable. I don't think I've slept that well in a long time.

Jim was extremely communicative with us, responding to any questions we had before we got there. We were driving down from northern CA the day we planned to check in & weren't exactly sure when we would get there. Jim told us to enjoy the drive & just text him when we were close. He was there to greet us & happy to give us as much information/recommendations as we asked for. We already had an idea of what we wanted to do so he was also happy to step back & let us do our own thing, something else I really appreciated.

This was our first time using AirBnB & based on this experience, I'm looking forward to using it again.
