Anna and Jim’s place is such a respite! The neighborhood is quiet with beautiful flowering trees and plants. We arrived late and found cheese and savory breadsticks, as well as a big variety of teas and coffees, to enjoy before collapsing into a wonderfully comfortable bed for a good night’s sleep. The space was perfect for the two of us, and it had a robust enough kitchen space to allow us to cook breakfast and be lazy before heading out to explore the neighborhood, which was terrific. Jim and Anna recommended local places to eat, and all were dead on. Our cozy deck was perfect, and we were able to enjoy their beautiful garden with thriving plants and hummingbirds. Wow! We loved Oakland, and we found Jim and Anna’s hospitality perfect—they were so available and knowledgeable about the area. We will be back! Thank you, Jim and Anna.
