This was the perfect location for visiting our friends, walking to great restaurants and shops, and getting to public transit. The cottage was cozy and quiet, tucked back from the street, with a beautiful garden outside the windows. The bed was comfortable and the place had all the necessities for our stay. Grateful to the host for their detailed communication!

We really enjoyed our stay at Chris' cottage. We love the Rockridge area, and all the amenities that we needed were there. We're originally from the Bay Area, and look forward to staying here when we are back visiting.

Great location

It is not a one bedroom. It is a studio with a kitchen that has no stove and the bare essentials. Coffee, no tea, 4 forks, 3 knives, 3 plates, bowls. But the location is great and it was quiet. The owner was good at communicating.

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!

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!

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.
