We stayed at Rebecca's place for over a month and had a great experience. The house is spacious and the back deck and garden were really wonderful spots to spend time - our dog also loved laying in the sun on the porch. The house had just about everything we needed and the kitchen was fully equipped and enjoyable to cook in. The proximity to Joaquin Miller Park was nice for easy to hard hiking and we were able to drive our dog to the play area most days. While the house is close to the highway on the map, it can't be seen or heard and was really convenient to get around Oakland and Berkley quickly and easily. We didn't really venture out at night but did feel safe and enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. Overall a great experience and would recommend staying here!
