Though the cottage is a hop, skip and a jump to the Rockridge BART and just a block away from the many delicious restaurants, eccentric coffeehouses and lovely shops of College Avenue, you may end up never venturing out of the sweet garden. My stay at Ericka's cottage was as delightful as herself and her family. A minimalist dream amongst roses and a hammock, the sun-drenched cottage was my perfect escape for a week. I completely fell in love with the area and would definitely stay again.
