Caren's house was a wonderful retreat after our long days of visiting and sightseeing. The house is tucked up in the green Oakland Hills on a very quiet street, which offers great views if you walk further up the street as it spirals around a hill. The house is only a few minutes to the little town of Montclair, which has a few grocery stores, & lots of restaurants and shops. We were in downtown Oakland in 10 minutes, San Francisco in 25.
The house is the nicest AirB&B we've rented yet. Not large but with a nice layout so we and our 3 kids had room to spread out. Everything is recently updated and in in great working condition. The shower pressure was amazing (always a great surprise in a rental!) and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, spices and a few staples. The beds are comfy and there is plenty of extra bedding. There are two nice flat screen tvs with cable. The back deck looks down on a hilly green vista. All in all a great place to stay!
