We were greeted by Colin right after we parked. The street is lovely and quiet, it feels like a safe neighborhood with a lot of people who have probably lived in their homes a while. The house we stayed in is a back house with gorgeous landscaping and a beautiful bedroom; there is a cool skylight and we could see the moon at night. I loved staying in Oakland and it really felt like we were removed from the city, when we’d go back to retreat during the day/evening. There was a list of tips provided for us to go to eat, get coffee/drinks, etc. I wish we could’ve stayed longer to try out their other recommendations, hopefully we can go back to stay with them soon!
