I had a great visit. Sadly, I was working, but this was a great oasis to return to. It is in a typical Oakland hills neighborhood, but while the approach is up a fairly steep and winding road, the street fronting the house is level and easy to park in. Small dining nook inside was much appreciated and there are places to sit outside. Kitchen setup is best for reheating food, which I had prepped and brought in an ice chest, and used the compact refrigerator just outside the door. I saw a comment about privacy, and while I could see the back of the residence from the windows of my unit, I felt like I was alone there most of the time. Privacy was not a problem. Also, attention cyclists--if you don't mind huffing up a five minute climb, you turn right at the corner and are on Skyline Road in about five minutes. You can ride the crest all the way down to Wildcat Canyon and make a loop back up Pinehurst, if you really want a challenge.
