Clean, Comfy and Well Located

We were in West Oakland for a few days to get my adult daughter settled into her new apartment and job. This space was just what we needed as a place to rest and relax in between work, and we had everything we needed to cook light meals and make coffee. It was clean and the beds were comfy. The designated parking did not work for my Ford Flex, but street parking was simple enough. A smaller vehicle would work though. It was an easy drive to get everywhere we needed to be.

Comfortable Stay at Mosswood Cottage

Riza and Miguel have created a comfortable and well appointed cottage that has everything you’ll need for a pleasant stay. The entire unit was very clean and has many amenities. Beds were comfortable and there were extra pillows, linen, and towels for the bathroom. Kitchen was well appointed and we cooked several meals during our time there. Television was great and WiFi signal and speed allowed me to work remotely without a hitch. The washer and dryer were easy to access in the main building and the off street parking was secure and very convenient. The cottage is near some major traffic corridors but is surprisingly quiet due to excellent sound proofing. It is a short walk to MacArthur BART station and many restaurants and shops along Telegraph Blvd. Piedmont Blvd is also nearby with excellent restaurants and unique stores for shopping. Miguel was very accommodating and helpful during our stay.
