We had the most amazing time at The Chetwood. The house is on a quiet but characterful street in Oakland's picturesque and bustling Lake Merritt area. The living space is high on charm with the added bonus of a private view of original artwork. We were lucky enough to spend 7 nights surrounded by work by legendary author Dave Eggers complete with artists' statement. The work added a layer of excitement and reflection to our stay, like living in a super cool and very exclusive gallery. The interior of the space is a nice counterpoint to the art experience as it feels like a cosy cabin. As cat lovers we left the door to the house ajar so that we could be joined by the very cute and brilliantly named Eno and Fripp. Terri is genuinely one of the friendliest hosts we've had the pleasure of staying with and was super responsive throughout our stay. The whole experience was just very cool and enjoyable, highly recommended!
