The place is very close to everything and the train station is about 15 minutes walking. Rockridge is a very nice residential neighborhood. The College St, which is 2 minutes from the cottage, has very interesting shops and restaurants. The host was responsive but only by Email/Phone as I did not see him/her. Parking spots are plenty in the street and San Francisco downtown is about 20 minutes driving, you will need to pay the toll fees of 6 $ though when taking the bridge and only cash is accepted. The cottage it self is very clean, quiet and has everything you need, I will suggest to add a toaster. Our experience was very good and I will recommend this place to anyone.
