AirBnB at its best. The owner lives in the main house and rents out her garden cottage. The cottage is a small studio with a simple kitchen tucked into a delightful neighborhood. Nanci is very hospitable and we enjoyed speaking with her. The bed was comfortable. The rental was clean and looks to have been recently renovated. The neighborhood is very walkable with coffee, food, and shops nearby. We particularly enjoyed the bookstore. We will definitely rent here again when we visit Oakland again.
