This part of Oakland is a really special place, and The Chetwood is perfectly located to enjoy it. While tucked into the hills a bit, it's easy to walk down to the Grand Lake Theater and Farmer's Market on Sundays. They're not to be missed! Walking in the other direction through the winding roads and hills of the Grand Lake and Adam's Point neighborhoods you can reach Downtown Oakland in 20 mins or less. Ever growing numbers of bars and restaurants, as well as a ginormous Whole Foods can be found there. Driving or biking of course is much quicker to get around, UberX was my go-to for BART access. But if you've got some time, go for a walk!

The Chetwood itself was really cozy and nicely appointed. It really made me feel at home. While it's on the lower level of the house and has concrete flooring it's heated well. The art and photography from the artist residents that have passed through and the craftsmanship of the space itself left me with some inspiration to finally get my own apartment in order.

Would definitely stay again if I find myself back in Oakland.
