We (my girlfriend and I) stayed for a weekend at Terri's place. Check-in was simple. The neighborhood was peaceful, and street parking was always available. There were local restaurants just a ten minutes' walk near Lake Merritt. Terri provided excellent recommendations for shops and restaurants as well as activities like Redwoods Regional Park. We took a beautiful drive along Skyline BLVD in the Oakland Hills to reach the park. The guest suite was cozy, and the temperature was always perfect. We enjoyed our stay.
