Everything as described. The apartment is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Check in was easy. Brooks is a most accommodating host and quick to respond. Highly recommended. I will definitely return.
Brooks’s place is a true respite in the beautiful Oakland hills. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, it offers amazing privacy and exceptional quiet—for the first time in a while, I slept without earplugs!You have the entire lower floor to yourself. Although there’s a home above, Brooks wasn’t on the property during my stay, so it felt like I had the whole place to myself. He has thought of absolutely everything, and I was able to settle in and get some deep work done.The neighborhood is delightful and a wonderful place for a walk. My only hiccup was getting my Android connected to the Sonos system, lol—but according to Brooks, if you have an iPhone, connecting should be easy. Everything else was fantastic. You will not be disappointed—I’ll definitely be back!
