Chuck’s place is old English style, Tudor like, and pleasant to stay in. A two level place adds charm with a great view of the Bay Area and bridge. The place is 7 minutes by car to a fine village of Montclair that is very charming and warm with diverse population and shoppes. A fine Irish restaurant and bar serves up one of the tastiest shepherds pie and the bartenders were friendly and engaging. I was able to converse with a customer there as if we live there and know each other. No pretenses.
I only spent two nights there and it is not advisable to stay for such a short time. I had only a short window of time that Chuck’s place had me forget that with their large and many windows to enjoy the view of the Bay and the surroundings.
I will check again to see if it will be available when I go visit the area next time. Because, in February, the morning sun surely warmed me when I stepped out and grabbed the lemongrass or lemon flowers we plucked and chewed on the stems before we head off for the day. Unique overall, a fine medicine for the harried mind and body.
