This cottage was lovely and plenty private behind the main house. Our hosts were generous, accommodating and communicated well. When I had an unexpected situation arise, Dana allowed me to check in a day early, for instance. There was a leaky faucet and they fixed it right away. My partner and I stayed here for two months, and it definitely was feeling like home.
The cottage is well cared-for, with some signs of wear and tear that one expects with age. Note that while the studio is open and spacious overall, there is not a whole lot of space for storage.
The neighborhood is quiet, and the people friendly. There is a coop grocery down the street and all the restaurants we tried near the BART station (Banh Mi, chinese, pizza, mexican, crepes, coffee shop, bubble tea) were quite good. Getting around the city was very easy and convenient. Would highly recommend.
