This place was perfect! I had my parents in town and wanted them to have a wonderful experience of Oakland and the Bay Area. The neighborhood is very quiet and adjacent to Lake Merritt. Extremely convenient for walking distances to restaurants and a short hop over to the main highway. Heidi is a specular host! She came over with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my mom and a extra blanket since the temperature was cooler the week of their stay. My parents raved about it and want to stay at Heidi's place next time they come to visit! Thanks Heidi for being a fantastic host and having a such lovely place. :)
