The cottage was exactly as described -- bright and airy; very comfortable. Good bed; comfortable chairs; reading lights. It was scrupulously and professionally clean, and larger than we anticipated. The neighborhood is busy but very interesting and walkable. The walking path around lovely Lake Merritt is a block away. With limited street parking in Oakland, the parking space is extremely helpful. Jane had thought of everything we needed, and was very generous. If airBnB gives a hostess of the year award, Jane should be a top contender.
