General overview
Our recently remodeled single family home is nestled in a quiet suburb of the metropolitan area of San Francisco and Oakland. This is our only home although there are many gaps throughout the year where it remains vacant as we like to take several small trips and at least one big trip a year.
The space
Our home is a split-level home with lots of privacy and comfort. That also means a lot of stairs so it's not very handicap accessible unfortunately. We recently remodeled our outdoor casita, outdoor living space and kitchen, dining room area and is very entertainment friendly.
Guest access
Entrance int o the home is simple with our keypad for the house and the backyard casita.
Notes
We have a 25 lb maltipoo that lives with us. We can make arrangements for him to be kept with a sitter during your stay.

Neighbourhood
On our small block there are a dozen other children between the ages of 4 - 17. Our primary school aged children are right in the middle and are often visiting the nearby school playground with the many other children in the community to play. There is a city public pool nearby and has public play hours during the summers. We also live a short drive away from beautiful redwood parks to picnic, hike or mountain bike through.
Getting to my home
There is a local BART about 5-10 minutes away that can bring you here from the airport or train station. This is a heavily populated area and so getting an uber or lyft is very easy as well as a city bus line that is a block away.
Nearest airport
We are a short 15-20 minute car ride away from Oakland International airport and about 45 minutes from San Francisco International airport.
Getting around
We live in a very walkable neighborhood. We also have bikes and possibly a car for you to use as needed.

Top Hatters - https://tophatterskitchen.com/ - Maybe make a reservation if you want to eat there while you’re in town. If not, their take out menu is fine too.
