If you don’t know anything about Oakland then don’t stay here. Oakland is about an hour from San Francisco. The cottage is behind the main house if you have trouble locating it on the map. It’s a very short walk from the bus that will take you to the bart station to catch the train. The cottage is pretty spacious for two people.
My husband couldn’t get the tv to connect to the internet and my phone never showed me an option for the internet name provided. It’s very hot in the cottage even when it’s cool outside so if you’re looking for a spot in the winter this may be perfect. Overall, it’s a cute spot but I do not like being hot so I couldn’t sleep well.
