The photos and description of EJ’s home don’t do justice to this beautiful place. Our stay in Piedmont was wonderful. We had 13 people (including 4 young children) and there was space for play, conversation, or solitude as needed. We were gathering from various parts of the country to celebrate a wedding. As with any event, things were a bit hectic and there were issues. Despite those outside challenges, we were always able to return to our borrowed home for peace and a haven to renew our energy & spirit.

Others have already written about how amazing the home is, completely outfitted with anything needed, feeling light & airy, with fascinating sculptures and paintings. Also noted is how considerate EJ is as a host. Not yet mentioned is his clairvoyance. Within 15 minutes of using the last paper towel on the roll, a new package of paper towels quietly appeared at the front door. No one had called him.

Find any reason for a visit to Oakland and come to stay here. You will leave lighter than you arrived. Guaranteed.
