I really enjoyed my stay at Margo's cozy cottage. The space was small, but well laid out and the courtyard with fountain was charming.
The location is quiet but very close to Piedmont Ave with cafes, gift stores, clothing, great thrift and bookshops. And a movie house just round the corner too! The famous Fentons ice cream parlor is just yards away . I discovered something new every time I walked down the street. It's just a short Uber ride to downtown Oakland (I recommend the museum) and to Berkeley and all the other interesting neighborhoods on the East Bay.
