Thanks to Donald and Sandra for being such gracious and attentive host. My stay at their home and in particular the “Private Garden” retreat apartment was quite wonderful! A stocked refrigerator of treats, coffee and everything a person would need just to get away for a few days. It was my first experience using AirB&B so it mattered that they were so attentive.
I had a guest over for dinner one evening. She explained that she has stayed in numerous AirB&B around the world and that Donald’s & Sandra’s “Private Garden” was the best she had seen. Their place really impressed her because as a resident of Berkley she would have never visited this special little place.
The corner café was really convenient, I made the 10-minute walk to the BART to visit San Francesco for a day and also visited a few sites around Oakland & Berkeley. I was lucky to have picked Donald’s & Sandra’s “Private Garden” retreat apartment as my first AirB&B stay. The place is simply the BEST and they are two caring people. I once listed to a podcast of the founder of AirB&B; Donald & Sandra were the people he spoke of in his talk about the vision for his company.
