This was my second stay at Trixie’s cottage after making an unexpected return to Oakland for the New Year. I felt so lucky to be able to reserve the cottage again, and for a few more days than my previous visit. Everything was great! Like before, John and Tina made me feel welcome and right at home. They are excellent hosts. Their communications are friendly, timely and attentive. It is a wonderful setting - peaceful, private, beautiful and safe. I enjoyed spending more time in the warm and cozy cottage during this visit relaxing, reading , and watching movies while listening to the rain outside. Seeing Trixie again was a treat too! Everything is spotless and very comfortable for a short or longer stay. I appreciate the care and kindness that Tina and John put into sharing what feels like a secret garden gem. I will always try to reserve Trixie’s cottage when I’m visiting Oakland. Thank you Tina, John and Trixie for another great stay.
