My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit at Jane and Ed's urban retreat. The place was just as beautiful as in the pictures, and the location in Piedmont is both quiet and close to lots of great places to eat and shop. The room itself was very comfortable, and the shower was awesome! Jane and Ed are very cool, and we enjoyed the cats that were cruising around the garden (we were missing our own cats). The small pond has fish and we enjoyed sitting outside and feeding them. If we or any of our friends ever have need of a place to stay in Oakland, we would not hesitate to stay here again.
