Colleen and George are amazing hosts... And their place a real treat AND a retreat!!! When I asked for a land line because my cellphone wasn't always clear, they gave me one... When I asked where I could print something, they installed a fancy scanner and printer... They are not only thoughtful and gracious hosts they are just darn good folks...(the kind from the Midwest!). This was my third stay at their place. I fell in love with the neighborhood... Exploring amazing hikes and views. It's far from downtown Oakland but I liked feeling like I was on a woodsy escape every night... And freeway traffic was never too terrible... Can't beat the homemade muffins either...George is a former pastry chef. Highly recommend this magical place...
