Wonderful location in the heart of Rockridge, easy walk to BART, shops, restaurants. Sweet colorful craftsman houses with gardens. Felt safe and at home. Was able to park rental car in her driveway to avoid the 4 hr parking limit during the week...very tight squeeze, but it brushed up my parking skills : ) Suzanne's house is a wonderful den of art deco decor and memorabilia of family, friends, places, and stylish personal chachkas everywhere you look. Beautiful plantings and garden touches all around the house. She is very helpful with local tips and directions. Her indoor calico cat Sweetie Pie is perfectly named...I loved having her around and I was fine even tho I have animal allergies. The 2 outdoor Calico and Tortie (my fav) kitties are quite shy, and longing to come in. The sound from the freeway did not bother me at all...more of a whir of white noise if the window was open, which I didn't even notice after a while. There were a couple of issues with the tub (alot of dust) and shower (water went from hot to cold after a few minutes) but both were resolved/solutions offered, and cleaning deposit refunded without being asked for. I love taking hot baths in winter and after a quick cleaning of it, enjoyed several wonderful soaks in the very luxuriously designed tub. **Communication-Suzanne hates texting and email, so call her if you need to, or better yet, her lovely assistant Didi who seems to be on top of everything...and wears the grooviest vintage dresses ever!
