The little cottage is cozy, comfortable, clean, close to Lake Merritt and the West Oakland restaurants, bars and parks. The cozy cottage nests behind a historical home in the back with an incredible fruit and succulent garden. The bed was so comfortable. We wondered "where did this bedding come from?" The place was spotless and perfectly eclecticly designed. It was about an 1.5 mile walk to a wonderful brunch and walk around the lake. We truly enjoyed this little gem. Thank you Dolores and Lauren.
