Heidi's house was perfect for our Oakland visit. With its large windows, it feels light and airy. The outdoor sitting area is wonderful and the surprisingly quiet city neighborhood is just a small walk from Lake Merritt, Grand Avenue shopping and theater and food stores. Heidi is a thoughtful hostess who makes check-in a breeze and communicates promptly. We loved the neat-as-a-pin 50's decor and the very comfortable bed and bedding as well. We hope to return.
