Everything about my stay exceeded all expectations. The room was spacious and inviting — as if I had spent time there before. The patio area is fantastic, with amazing views up into the Oakland hills. The area is quiet and very safe but not secluded or inconvenient — a short walk will take you down to a beautiful park and a main street with lots of shops and great eating options. They are wonderful, engaging, and attentive (when you need them to be) hosts. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a well-rounded and enjoyable Bay Area experience.
