This free-standing studio apartment fit all our needs - well-equipped, quiet, and located in the Oakland hills near the family we were visiting. The hosts were lovely and attentive We hope to return!

Beautiful accommodation separate from main house in secluded wooded neighborhood. Charming hosts, always available. Super pet friendly. Very comfortable king sleep number bed, excellent bathroom with plentiful hot water. Fridge, microwave, hot plate, all cutlery, all there for the asking. Though up in the hills, was 13 min to Emeryville or Berkeley with easy access to 13 and 24 fwys. Wouldn't hesitate to return on a moments notice. Many thanks Marilyn and Rich.
