Never in our wildest dreams did we expect this Airbnb to be as perfect as it was! Even though you can get around Oakland in a snap, this cottage is an oasis of peace! During our stay, it was absolutely silent except for the chirp of birds and the occasional scuttle of squirrels. You look out onto a gorgeous rose garden that's just as tranquil as can be. Amanda was a phenomenal host, responding promptly and thinking of everything! We loved our stay, and thought the cottage was clean, light-filled, imaginative and charming. We stayed for thee nights and hated to leave! Also, there's this French bakery just down the hill with these devilishly good "morning buns!" We got them every morning and then returned to the cottage to devour them with coffee in the garden while we read books and did the NYT wordle in the sunshine! Bliss! We look forward to returning!
