Don’t let our first impression discourage you! The cottage was smaller than expected for 4 people full time and the bedroom had a funny smell. There is no door between the bedroom and rest of the space (just a curtain). Finally, it would have been difficult to watch TV from the couch (but who does that on vacation?). Overall it was very nice for just 2. Our mistake was trying to house 4 rather than just sleep 4. We loved the great kitchen supplies and lovely bathroom, adorable private patio, and the sweet and responsive host. We felt safe and secure, it was relatively quiet for a normal neighborhood, and once we got settled in, it was a really great stay! Pay close attention to the details in the listing because there are no misrepresentations! It’s a great little cottage!

This is a well equipped, conveniently located cottage with a lovely private patio. The cottage was clean, felt very safe, and the host was extremely helpful. As the photos show, the bed is in a small area surrounded by three touching walls. We ended up using the hideabed couch for one of us, since we often get up at night, and this worked.

I live in the neighborhood and booked for a friend who was visiting a couple days. She reported that the bed and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen had everything she needed including good coffee and the private patio space was an extra plus. The host was friendly and attentive.

Perfect Oasis

The cottage is absolutely delightful! Very thoughtfully designed and laid out for a small space. Chanda has provided everything you might need from kitchen spices to fancy toiletries. I loved sitting on the patio observing the hummingbirds feed from all the flowers. The neighborhood is adorable with easy access to wherever I wanted to go.

Great small back house

This listing is a little back house in a cute residential neighborhood in Oakland. Even though the space is small, everything you need is available. There’s a curtain between the bedroom space and the living area. The kitchen is nice and clean.

Attentive host

Our host was excellent with communication, made check in and check out easy and was eager and available to address anything that came up. She was kind enough to provide a cooler and ice pack for our day trip sandwiches upon inquiry. The bed was comfortable and the neighborhood quiet. Cleaning supplies were available to wipe high traffic touch points and tidy as necessary. A lovely patio to relax on for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. We felt safe while staying there. If you are planning on staying in this area and have not been before it would pay to do some research and to have a rental car. It’s not too far from attractions and there are a lot of great places to hike and see. The drive to SF is not too bad even with traffic. The crime rate in Oakland is high and it’s obvious when venturing out and about. We learned this quickly when stopping at an in and out burger. The warning sign on the curb about valuables in the vehicle should have been our clue and the multiple parking stalls with broken glass in them. As we ate dinner we watched as a thief broke the back window of a tourists SUV and grabbed the luggage and took off. Less then 3mins. Simply being aware of your surroundings, being street smart and leaving nothing in the car is the best option. Not just in Oakland but anywhere you travel.
