We greatly enjoyed our 3 day stay in the cottage. It and the landscaping around it is an attractive place to returtn to from our expeditions around the Oakland area. The location is excellent with many restaurants, shops, the BART, and one of our daughters living within a few blocks walk. The cottage is thoughtfully organized...down to details such as leaving a pencil and pad on the bedside table for early hour inspirations. We expect it to be our home away from home when we come back.
