Executive summary: Even if you already live in the Bay Area, you should book Nina's place for at least a weekend getaway - it's just good for the soul. Nina's place offers the best of both worlds - it's a hidden nature retreat nestled in the hillside that's just minutes away from Oakland's lively cultural scene. Lovely woods - check. Beautiful family of deer to wake you up everyday - check. Some of the best hiking trails in the Bay Area - check. Great Oakland eateries - check. Charging for your Californian EV - double check! The cabin itself is perfect for a couple, with a stocked kitchen and ample space to work and relax both inside the house and outside on the deck. To top it all off, Nina was the most gracious and considerate AirBnB host, pampering us with pasta and goodies during our multi-week stay. Don't know whether it was the fresh air, the abundant nature surrounding us, or the general vibe of the place, but our health and spirits were rejuvenated through the stay. Thank you so much Nina for hosting us - our warmest regards.
