The modern urban retreat is every bit as lovely as the pictures on Airbnb and the hosts were very welcoming. Fresh flowers graced the kitchen counter and the frig and cabinets were stocked with just about everything you might want for breakfast -- yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, breadstuffs, coffee and tea, juice and milk. The bathroom was also stocked with toiletries, the bed was great, and there were books to read and a lovely patio to read them on. We hope to return the next time we need a place to stay in Oakland.
