I had a wonderful time at Jim and Anna's cottage. The apartment was quaint and airy. There was a seating area directly outside which was nice to enjoy yummy yerba mate tea that Jim and Anna provided (amongst other goodies). The tree-lined street had plenty of parking and was quiet. The cottage was within minutes of restaurants, shops and bars. With a 5 minute walk, you are at a BART station to explore Oakland, Berkeley or the City. I would love to stay here again.
