I've stayed in a number of great airbnbs over the past few years, but this one may take the prize! Some of the highlights: lovely, responsive hosts who live a stone's throw away but gave us complete privacy in our yellow cottage. Lovely back garden surrounding the house, with private areas for sitting, pools of running water, gorgeous fall foliage. The neighborhood is hilly and residential, great for walks and runs but also just a 10 minute walk down to Lake Merritt and 15 minutes from the world's best farmer's market and great shops and restaurants. The cottage itself: radiant floor heating ...! I've become a convert! Comfy bed, beautiful walk-in shower. Arched ceiling added a spacious feeling. Somehow Tina and John managed to make a smallish space feel roomy: minimal but comfy furniture, large garden-facing windows and French door. Beautifully appointed galley kitchen. I could go on but suffice it to say that we originally booked the place for 2 weeks and ended up deciding to stay for two more months while we visited our daughter and her family, who live up the hill. I'm already thinking of future visits - and future stays in Tina and John's yellow cottage.
