This was my second stay at Catherine’s in a short window — a welcome return after construction on my home and a different Airbnb with a septic issue! It was so lovely to be back so soon — even better than my first visit. Sparkling clean, serene, with incredible sunsets on the deck and even more flowers in bloom in the surrounding garden. This time I had a car and was able to take advantage of the nearby hiking trails off of Skyline Blvd, less than 5 minutes from the cottage. So comforted to know that this space is here (when it’s open, which is rare!) for future Oakland staycations and/or visiting friends and family. Thanks Catherine for accepting my last-minute reservation and providing such a comforting private space during a stressful time!
