Refuge Among The Redwoods is absolutely gorgeous! The space is full of character, and there are plenty of windows to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.
Check-in was a breeze; the hosts provided easy entry instructions. Coffee and other amenities were available for our use. We didn't cook, but the space offered everything needed to cook.
The location is excellent. It was easy to go anywhere we needed without having to go far. Lake Merrit and the Bonsai Garden are 5 minutes away.
Our stay was comfortable. We took our senior Old English Bulldog. She enjoyed lounging around, and the staircase did not seem difficult for her to climb. The private balcony was comfortable and a bonus. We spent most of our time together in the living space. The sofa and daybed were the most comfortable- my son loved them. The floors did creak a bit, which is expected for an old home. It did not bother us. The noise level in the area was close to none. Oddly, the bedroom did not have a door. The bed was not as comfortable as the sofa or daybed, but that was ok.
The hosts' communication was on point. They addressed all inquiries we had and allowed us to enjoy the place.
We had a wonderful time in Oakland. We would definitely stay in this beautiful space again.
