We went to the Gatsby Summer Afternoon Picnic at the Dunsmuir estate in Oakland, and the house is just about 2 miles away with the all-important kitchen! Just what we needed to bake our potluck items. If you plan to cook, prepare to pack in everything you need - the kitchen has basic pots and pans only. We enjoyed the relatively quiet street and slept well. Nice shower and bathroom, clean and well decorated.
