Highly recommend this AirBNB to anyone looking to stay in the Oakland/Berkeley area. Deanna was a very responsive host that was able to accommodate a slightly early check-in and slightly late check-out. The cottage feels very private, you are quite far from the main house. The location is fantastic, easy free street parking, walking distance to restaurants, and cute shops. Very beautiful backyard and views. This unit is immaculately clean and has lots of thoughtful touches. The heater worked well and kept us warm throughout the night. The washer and dryer worked well. We would definitely stay again. The only thing to note is if you have any mobility issues it's 50+ stairs to get from the street from the unit. It was not a problem for us.
