Carrie’s home will be your home away from home. While the pictures are accurate, they don’t capture the warmth that is felt while in the space. Carrie is a wonderful communicator and extremely helpful. Her attention to detail is amazing.
About the house: the mattress in the master bedroom was super comfy and the bedding was soft. Carrie provided lots of towels as well as personal hygiene supplies. It was a little warm in the Bay during our visit so the fans were perfect!
Carrie’s kitchen is well stocked and she is extremely generous to share all that she has with her guests (including wine—nice!). The island lends itself to a great gathering/hangout space as does her kitchen table. Oh, by the way, there are sharp knives (those that enjoy cooking will find that a plus). Having a washer and dryer was awesome.
I was in the home with my 14 year old girl/boy twins so each had their own room. Their beds were comfy and the bedding was soft. There were plenty of towels in the downstairs bathroom. We enjoyed watching TV downstairs on the oversized sofa. There are a lot of toys inside and outside of the house. My young nieces visited and had fun playing. The patio is fantastic for visiting, eating, listening to music, enjoying a glass of wine, etc. The view is pretty. While there is a guest house, we never saw the residents. The neighborhood is quiet and a bit hilly (so a nice place to run).
Carrie’s home is centrally located in Oakland and close to 580–it’s easy to get to San Francisco and most anywhere (traffic is traffic—can’t do anything about that).
Thanks Carrie! We thoroughly enjoyed your home.
