Wow. What a fantastic stay - I don't even know where to begin! The Prancing Pony became our home away from home in Oakland. Elizabeth and her husband were very friendly and really made us feel welcome. Elizabeth even cooked us dinner one night when she found out that we'd never tried biscuits and gravy! And it was fun meeting their three cats too (although they do yowl if you're cheeky enough to eat your breakfast without giving them food too!). The house is in a safe neighbourhood only a short walk away from Whole Foods and another (much cheaper!) grocery store, and it's easy to get to San Francisco and Berkeley by BART. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - thank you!
