My wife and I recently visited the Bay Area and our stay at Braunz's cottage guest house truly made our trip great! This classy, modern, and well-curated guest house provided the perfect location to access all that Oakland has to offer while only being a quick Bay Bridge drive into San Francisco. The cottage is very comfortable, stocked with all the necessities you'd need from home plus more! Equipped with an in-unit washer and dryer, a great shower, comfortable bed, lounging area, and fantastic kitchen. When wanting to achieve a bit more zen, just step out the sliding door to a private and peaceful sitting area perfect for morning tea, a good book, or just taking in the Cali weather. There are actually a number of outdoor sitting areas which were all great. There is also a complimentary parking spot and the property is gated providing a sense of security that is always nice when traveling. The residents living in the main house on the property were very nice and helpful with parking and shared that backing in is the way to go. They were very respectful of our privacy and quiet throughout our stay. Braunz was extremely communicative, checking in a few times which was so thoughtful. He was also readily available if and when we needed anything but he's truly created such a great space that all our needs were met. When traveling to or through the Bay Area, the cottage will be at the top of our list! Thank you, again, Braunz!
