Kate’s home in Crocker Highlands is absolutely awesome - beautifully and functionally well-furnished; thoughtfully decorated to make guests feel home and welcome; kitchen is fully stocked; located in a great neighborhood where cafes, restaurants and groceries are in walking distance. We walked to Trestle Glen Main Street everyday for coffee & pastries at Arizmendi. The sun-filled dining room, overlooking the hills & trees, and open living room were our favorite spaces to hang and relax. Importantly, Kate is very responsive and attentive to her guests’ needs - we were traveling with an infant, and Kate went out of her way to ensure we were able to enjoy her home with all baby-related amenities. It’s a great place to stay for those exploring Oakland and broader East Bay. We would love to come back.
