Don't even look at another place. Seriously. Stay here!

We needed a place to stay for the short gap between our old and new homes, both on the other side of town. We'd wanted to stay in Rockridge for a long time, having often visited the great shops and restaurants along College and Telegraph avenues.

You really couldn't ask for a better location than this Modern Redwood Oasis! In one direction, it's just a few minutes walk to College, including the fabulous Market Hall marketplace (deli, bakery, grocery, butcher, etc.), the Italian restaurant and cafe Oliveto, and of course the Rockridge BART station (20 minutes to downtown SF). In the other direction, it's also just a few minutes to Telegraph, with our favorite East Bay pizza place (Pizzaiolo, which also does a fantastic breakfast) and the Temescal farmers' market every Sunday.

But I haven't even mentioned the best part: the oasis! The pictures on Airbnb are good, but they still don't do it justice. It's green, spacious, modern (like mid-century modern; you'll love it), and totally unlike anywhere you've ever stayed. It has every convenience you'd expect, plus a generous and accommodating host who'll go the extra mile to make sure you have a good visit. Not only was Stephen an absolute joy to work with, but he's also a really interesting guy. Just check out his book collection!
