We loved our stay! Thank you Jane! The cottage was charming and cozy. I didn't realize, when booking it, that my favorite coffee shop in Oakland is literally 5 doors down from this address. We enjoyed coffee and the best pastries (which are baked at the pizza place on the corner) and some incredibly friendly neighbors (human and furry). Lake Merritt is what...maybe 2 blocks away...we even found our way to the Bonsai Garden. Having a parking space was a complete bonus. Thanks also for not stripping the place bare. I appreciated and did not expect that there was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee, creamer and a couple Diet Cokes in the fridge.
