Beautiful Canyon View Suite, 1100 sq. ft., private deck, full kitchen

In real life, the property looked just like the photos. It is a spacious, tastefully furnished and well-appointed one-bedroom apartment with a spectacular balcony and stunning canyon views to match. My husband and I were very comfortable there. The unit is very quiet and private. Just to note, there are 33 steps down to the unit but it is well-lit. The property is up a steep road with three hairpin bends but if you're comfortable with heights, it's totally worth the effort. On a couple of evenings as we drove back we even saw a deer at the side of the road! The host kindly advised us of an upcoming power outage in the area due to the trimming of tree branches which were entangled in power lines. It was so helpful to know this in advance. She responded in a timely manner whenever we reached out to her with small questions. There is a nice desk that we used several times for work purposes and there was good complimentary wifi available. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped and there was a nice breakfast table with a vase of fresh cut flowers - a lovely touch!We thought the bed was likely a full rather than a queen size but it was very comfortable nevertheless (we're both over 6 ft tall!)A few minutes drive down the hill takes you to a charming small shopping area called Montclair with delightful cafes and boutique stores. The local Safeway is open daily until midnight!All in all, an excellent experience in a beautiful rustic setting.

Nicely appointed rental, spacious and you cannot beat the view from the deck.

A gorgeous space with a kind, and communicative host.We had such a lovely trip and loved this space. Our personal highlights of this space:- a clean and comfortable space up in the Oakland hills.- a beautiful view, with coffee and bird watching on the porch in the morning.- a shower with couples showerheads for ultimate vacation relaxation.- the wood burning fireplace for chillier nights, and falling asleep in the living room to the crackle of the fire.- having friends over for dinner in a really relaxed and comfortable space.Additional comments:- more blankets would not go amis, as we brought our own a heated blanket. It did get chilly.-binoculars to get a closer look at the many bird species you can see off the deck.-the parking is tight. Not ideal for a large vehicle unless you intend to park on the street.Overall, Janet was very clear and helpful. We had absolutely no issues renting here and would do so again.

This was such a beautiful property. The host was clear with the check-in instructions and had resources for everything, from how the coffee maker worked to all the cool local spots to check out.My wife and I stayed here the morning of our wedding, and the host had approved our photographer to come and take ‘getting ready’ pictures of us, which was a huge bonus! The pics turned out stunning, by the way. I absolutely loved staying here and would 1000% stay here again!
