We've stayed at several Airbnb's but Jim is the only host to have welcomed us on our arrival. He showed us around the cottage pointing out where things were, and how to operate the gas stove, etc. The cottage is just as described, small but efficiently laid out and quite charming with several skylights and beautiful garden outside the door. Jim also stocked the refrigerator with yoghurt and cheeses .The location is great, just a short walk to College Ave. where there are countless shops and restaurants. I'm sure we'll be coming back to Oakland and hope to stay here again.
