This was a fantastic stay at a beautiful cottage (it really looks as nice as the picture!). Jane went out of her way to make sure that she left goodies for me for my stay, toiletries, tea and snacks, and thoughtful decorations that made my visit really feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but a really great coffee shop and a pizza place is just around the corner, as is the lake which is absolutely delightful for morning or evening walks and offers a beautiful and scenic view of the oakland skyline (the lake is salt water so there are lots of seabirds to watch as well). I stayed here for a few days while in between work trips and in between apartment leases, so even though I was in a transient period of life, my stay at the cottage made me feel at home and comfortable.
