El Nido was everything we hoped for and more! We arrived later than expected but Ann stayed in contact with us and we had no problem finding the property and getting in. The space itself was much larger than expected, was very clean and was so warm and welcoming. The back patio provided gorgeous views and the neighborhood itself was so cool. The property is very close to many cute little areas and we were also able to drive to the Rockridge BART station and get into San Francisco in about 30 minutes. Although we never got the chance to meet, Ann was a wonderful and thoughtful host, if I could give more than 5 stars I would! Little touches, such as extra toiletries and a delicious bottle of wine, made our stay even better. The next time we're in Oakland we will definitely be back to El Nido!
