The house was large and easily accommodated a group of five people. It has a nice European feel and is well decorated. Angie was quick to respond during our stay and we appreciated that she was informative. Unfortunately during our stay, there was a continuous water leak in the kitchen, and although Angie said she sent someone to fix the leak, no one fixed the leak. We had a towel on the ground and stepped in water while we used the kitchen. Also, we found socks in one of our beds leaving us to question if the bed sheets were washed for our stay. I’m not sure if somehow in the laundry the socks ended up in the bed sheets, but they looked worn enough that we question if someone who stayed before us took them off while using the bed. Other than these two issues, we enjoyed our stay and the beautiful garden. The proximity to the highway and downtown Oakland was nice too.
