Nice cottage in an interesting area of Oakland
This is a cottage behind an apartment building that was very quiet, but close to shopping and trendy stores. It was comfortable and clean and just right for a visit to my son who lives in the same area. Thank you, Chris!

Vibrant neighborhood
Chris is a very responsive host, such a pleasure to communicate with. I arrived during a rare heat wave so things were toasty and humid all over Oakland. No AC but a great floor fan. It’s a busy street but I heard no traffic noise. The Rockridge neighborhood has plenty of trendy shops and eateries it’s a very charming neighborhood

Lovely stay and accommodating host
My one-night stay at this cottage was perfect. The space was super clean, the bed was comfy, and Chris was very accommodating to me and my service animal. Location is amazing. I felt safe arriving later in the evening. Walking distance to great coffee shops and BART and pretty central to hip neighborhoods and restaurants in Oakland. Would definitely stay here again!

Location, location, location
Within walking distance of downtown Berkeley and Rockridge BART (if you're used to walking). Roomy for one person and a 45lb dog. Bedroom gets lots of sun, so portable fan didn't quite manage to keep it cool when the temperature rose above 75F/25C. Parking was challenging - used the driveway for $10/day and struggled to back out into traffic. That's on me, though, as I don't have good spatial sense. All in all, a quite positive experience.

Gem!
Chris was very responsive to my many questions as a first time guest. Description is very accurate. Location is conveniently within walking distance of St. Albert’s Priory, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. It was very nice to have the option to park on the property for a small fee. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Oakland.

Highly Recommend
I couldn't have been happier with my experience. The property was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully organized. The host was excellent, always prompt and helpful with communication. The neighborhood was fun to explore, with the convenience of having a grocery store and great cafes just a short stroll away. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the area.

Excellent Location and All You Need in Rockridge
The odd layout and back-garden access aside, this unit has all you need except a cooktop, including a large closet and a sitting area. Good heater in main area. We stayed 7 nights. Thoughtful host has provided a lot of small extras. Unit is very quiet despite its busy location. Walk to excellent grocery stores, Trader Joe, specialty markets (meat, produce, wine, bakeries). Walk 3 blocks to BART station for a magic carpet to San Francisco and the airports. You could easily stay here a while without a car. Host is responsive to issues. Parking at $10 a day extra is well worth it, but be advised you access it down a long, narrow driveway, so backing out takes a bit of skill. TV service (for me) with no cable was technically unusable. Best to plan on streaming TV to your iPad or laptop.

Quiet Retreat
Right off a busy street but you wouldn’t know it. The cottage is small and quiet-perfect for two. The bed was comfortable. The little courtyard right outside the house was perfect for our dog. The property is well lit.

The cottage was cozy and quiet, tucked behind the main house. Everything needed was there. It is in walking distance to restaurants and shops, surrounded by a quaint neighborhood. It is close to a BART station. And Chris was a great host.

Perfect place to stay
We were in the area to see a concert in Berkeley. This location was perfect for our needs. It was less than two miles walking distance to the show, very close within walking distance to all restaurants & cafes (and Trader Joes) and most importantly is was safe and very quiet. There is lots of hustle and bustle going on around the neighborhood, but this place. is tucked away behind all the noise and is incredibly quiet. We also were provided with onsite parking for a little extra fee which was totally worth it. Thank you for this great place!!

Great little cottage!
This is a wonderful cottage for a couple. Half a block from a very lively area with groceries, restaurants, bakery etc and yet very quiet. The host is great, responds promptly to concerns and check in was easy. This is our second stay here and will be coming back!
