Great host! This was our first trip to Oakland/Berkeley where our son just relocated, and he insisted we try to stay in his neighborhood. Zoe's cottage was a few blocks away and worked out perfectly for us. The cottage was private, felt very safe, and was always quiet. It was immaculate and had everything we needed, and we settled right in. Great location -- we walked into Downtown Berkeley, explored Oakland by car, and took the BART into San Francisco. We will definitely try to stay here again when we return in the spring so that we can enjoy the little deck and Zoe's gorgeous gardens.
