This was the first time my girlfriend and I booked an Airbnb. We looked left and right for an Airbnb that wasn't inside of a hotel, inside a private home, an apartment, or a guest home directly connected to the main home. We value privacy, safety, and comfortability and that's how we came across Laurel and Sky's cottage.
As soon as my girlfriend and I parked, Laurel and Sky replied to our questions in less than a minute and accommodated us (contactless, of course). Their place is in a socially aware neighborhood (Pride flags, Black Lives Matter signs, & other social movement messages signs), making us feel welcomed and accepted into their neighborhood. Laurel & Sky's neighborhood was quite peaceful; neighbors walking their dogs and squirrels running amok the trees.
The cottage had a "young couple that just moved in together" welcoming vibe and always felt like a second home when my girlfriend and I came back at the end of the night. All the features and amenities were on point within the cottage and it literally felt like an apartment.
If you want a complete private Airbnb experience, I'd highly recommend Laurel and Sky cottage. Their place was all prepped up and it made our time in Oakland and San Francisco memorable and fun!
