The cottage is placed in a beautiful, quiet back garden (fully blossomed at this time of the year). As other travellers and the host herself have pointed out, it is fairly basic and small but overall OK for our stay over a week. However, it made be challenging for more than 1 guest, since the bathroom door does not close (shoes and other blocking items were used to keep it closed when in use). Also, since the place is small and not properly equipped, preparing a warm meal was not an easy option.
The location is amazing: we've been in this side of the Bay Area before but this (Rockridge) was by far the most vibrant, safe and nice neighborhood we've stayed in. The cottage is conveniently located minutes from Bart station and from a convenience store. The host was really responsive and check-in/out made really easy for us. She also was kind and thoughtful enough to provide more than what most hosts do in terms of snancks (coffee and cream but also wine and some delicious buscuits). Overall, the cottage could do with more thorough/professional cleaning and some of the (cooking) equipment needs updating.
