I thoroughly enjoyed my four-day stay in this spacious, comfortable, little cottage. Marie provided coffee, sugar and half-and-half for my entire stay. The little kitchen area had a microwave, toaster oven, a coffee maker, a sink and plates and utensils for three people. When I needed help figuring out how to make the DVD player play one of the DVDs they provided, someone came immediately and solve the problem. The bathroom was elegant, with polished granite floors and countertop. There was ample closet space. I was able to adjust the heating to my liking. I have only good things to say about Marie's lovely little cottage and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an ideal location near Lakeshore Avenue. Yet I hate to tell anyone, because I would like to stay there when I return to Oakland next time.
