Highly recommend this gorgeous craftsman for your stay in the bay area! Josephine was extremely responsive and easy to work with. The house itself is a historic, 100 year old home that has been lovingly designed and updated in every area. Pride in home ownership and interest in design is evident here, and the house was extremely clean and provided us with all the essentials. The location is on the border of the Rockridge and Temescal neighborhoods of Oakland. There are a multitude of great shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The BART is around a 12 minute walk and there is a Whole Foods that is an easy 8 minute walk, as well as other grocery stores within easy driving distance. There is a deck and beautiful back yard where my 10-and 7-year old daughters played for hours after our day's adventures. It is a very easy drive to San Francisco, and we did day trips to a Giant's game and Fisherman's Wharf as well as Mill Valley (highly recommend for its amazing shopping and restaurants as well as its abundance of redwood trees), and over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. We also had lots of fun exploring the local neighborhoods and visiting with family. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit. Highly recommend!
