My girlfriends and I spent a long weekend in Oakland at Amy's place. The garden is adorable, lots of succulents and all kinds of fruits and veggies. We used some of the tomatoes to cook and it was wonderful. There are a lot of thoughtful touches: for example, she had left us hand sanitizer and masks and fresh fruits! We rented a car as I think navigating the area by public transport could be difficult. But street parking was ample (read the signs though, as there is street cleaning). The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. The house itself is comfortable and feels special.
