The room was exactly as described - very clean, private bedroom, with private bath down the hall, shared kitchen and porch with a gorgeous view of the valley. We enjoyed the Oakland Hills area with beautiful views and the quaint downtown of Montclair Village nearby - be sure to check out Taqueria Las Comadres, Oni Sushi, & Farmstead Cheese & Wine ($1 wine tastings on Fri and Sat). We had access to washer and dryer and all cookware in the kitchen. My husband works from home and he had access to a desk and high-speed internet. There was initially a problem with the internet and Shantanu was helpful at fixing it right away. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, always asking if we needed anything, and even invited us to share a drink and some conversation one night. The hosts were happy to give us our space or chat as we desired. The one thing I wish I had known is the room adjacent is also for rent so we had several neighbors come and go during our one month stay - each guest was friendly and we had no problems, but it was a surprise. Make sure you have a good GPS as it can be hard to find in the windy hill roads. A big thank you to our wonderful hosts!
