The cottage was a beautiful and private space for our long weekend in Oakland. We loved that it was only a few blocks from the lake, and the local pizza joint (Leaning Tower of Pizza) and cafe (Haddon Hill Cafe) were both excellent. Jane stocked the kitchen with everything we needed to make meals, and we appreciated the nice touches (complimentary toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, razors, soap, etc). Jane also left information about local attractions and helpful instructions, and was very responsive while also respecting our privacy.
