Jonathan and Courtney’s place was an ideal Airbnb setting—beautiful, immaculate, supremely comfortable. Though they described this place as an apartment, its soaring ceilings and shift in levels made it seem like a spacious guesthouse with full privacy, relaxing quietude, and fully stocked accommodations, including the largest movie screen we have ever seen in a domestic setting.
Best of all was the location in a charming enclave of nestled gated homes with breathtaking views in the Oakland hills, entailing a fantastic drive along a wending and narrow road until reaching the end following much anticipation. Handsome chickens in their own coop on the property completed the bucolic setting.
This place would be a good choice for a longer stay since it abuts some rich surroundings such as a science museum with planetarium (not yet open during our stay) and deep woods offering numerous hiking paths. We would gladly stay here again.
