This basement unit is a great little hideaway, and the location in the Oakland HIlls offers a unique escape from downtown that is still very convenient. The kitchen is fine for simple preparation of breakfast and lunch. Wifi and cable worked very well. Occasional sounds from the family overhead were minimal. Matt was very conscientious about communicating details and responding to our inquiries. We enjoyed the diverse selection of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores in the nearby village of Montclair.
