Amy and Dennis were fabulous hosts. They keep the place in great shape and were very generous and helpful.
I liked the cabin/cottage a lot, it suited me. It's tucked in the garden backyard behind their home, just a block off the shore trail of Lake Merritt, and a block off Grand Avenue with all the shops and farmers market etc. I was visiting my niece and her new addition to our family, about a 20 minute walk away, along the lake. I felt like I had an urban oasis with loads of privacy and surprising quiet.
The place was clean and cozy. Be prepared of course to climb a ladder up to the loft with a very comfortable bed. And to shower in a private enclosure outside, in a big old clawfoot tub. . . a totally decent set up. Although there is no sink in the kitchen area there is a small fridge freezer and fresh water, bottled water and plenty of accommodation for morning beverages.
Amy and Dennis have a sweet and comfortable place to stay in Oakland's Adam's Point neighborhood.
