Beautiful peaceful pet-friendly

Situated in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood up in the hills. Conveniently located 15 minutes to Berkeley. Hosts were welcoming and dog owners. Kitchenette had a mini frig, coffee press with provided coffee, microwave and hot plate. Great for someone with a car as they provide access to use their driveway.

I loved this quaint little retreat! It is a hidden gem.Once you enter the backyard, you see the lovely trees starting to bloom, ( it is the beginning of March), and you can hear various birds chirping.And, it is peaceful and quiet. I felt very relaxed.The small cottage is simply decorated with big windows looking into the yard, and a high beamed ceiling. Very charming.

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!
