The guy I spoke to took my reservation. I was going to bring my dog but decided not too. I called and left 2 messages to please take pet deposit off my bill. I never got a hold of anyone and never recieved a return call. Here is where it got even more upsetting I arrived and there was no key left for me. I finally got a hold of someone and they arranged for the housekeeper to let me in my room. The women I spoke to said Id get a refund on my credit card and the Chief who took my reservation would take care of this. She also informed me that the Chief I spoke to claimed he does not remember our phone conversation and that he thought the reservation was for following week, untrue as I had email to prove the date. Well here I am at week 2 and no refund for pet. Honestly, at this point ill never stay here again due to this and I just want to warn warn people its defintly not run well at all since they changed management.

B-Love's Guest House is an oasis that is hard to write a review for. Nestled in the heart of West…read moreOakland, "B-Love" hosts a part-hostel, part-private accommodation that seems to be able to meet any need, and has met mine for 1+ month in multiple stays now. In the two times I stayed here while commuting through the Bay Area, it was a gamble who I could share my kitchen or bathroom with.. but I always felt at peace as soon as I arrived. The "vibe" is curated as much as the artist hosting the space. "B-Love" stays around the home sometimes like a caring manager rather than an overbearing landlord. It was always good to see her around to update her on the house supplies, or just to hang out. She is a wealth of knowledge and history that comes along with the guest house and beautiful garden. However, she is also not in your business overall so if I ever wanted to ask for an accommodation in my room, or a question about the house, she was readily available on email or phone and happy to answer, as well as the other workers who are around regularly to clean up and help. The home sits in the heart of West Oakland, which might not have the best grocery stores, but you will encounter 3-story murals of the Women of the Black Panthers on the way to the Black-owned co-op grocery store (Mandela). You can also learn what a "food desert" is when they close at 8pm if you're carless, but you can also learn the goodness of local shopping when you hit the local liquor store (Sharif's) that makes sure to have your avocados and tortillas all the same. I would stay at B-Love's again and again. I miss the garden when I stay miles away visiting the Bay Area. Thank you for always catching me in my travels!

My husband and I stayed here with two other couples a few weekends ago when in town for a Calistoga wedding. It was considerably more cost-effective than a hotel, and much more conducive to enjoying each other's company. We had a great time and were very happy with the home. Pros: Superb views, a beautifully maintained garden and landscape, very private, incredibly clean and comfortable, well-appointed, very friendly owners, short driving distance to St. Helena, Calistoga, etc. Con: Driveway is very difficult to pull out of, being on a blind curve. I believe that a simple measure such as installing a mirror or two would remedy this, and we suggested it to the owner. I suspect that they will be responsive.

We stayed here last night, and again tonight. 2 nights is NOT enough. I want to live here. I cannot wait to return. This is such an amazing gem, that I am hesitant to yelp about it, for fear it will be too hard to book in the future. However, I did find this place through yelp, and will return the favor to others. If you are looking for a place to book in Inverness or Point Reyes, you MUST book this place. It was worth every single penny. This cottage is in the middle of an enchanted forest, and I never want to leave! The owner, Wendy is so sweet, and communication was great. It was a breeze to book it. This morning, while I sipped my coffee on the gorgeous deck, I was half expecting a fairy to come say hi.

You know how it is when you are in charge of a big group's plan, this was the least thing I wanted to worry about and the most important! where to spend the night on that Saturday. But, then...when we arrived late on Saturday night, spent the night and then the morning of Sunday, we wished we would have arrived earlier and stayed longer. The true magic lies in this place. We loved this house! every corner of it, it is a very comfortable place and your friends or group of people will feel like home. It is a very functional house, whenever you need something (like a bottle opener) you turned around and there you go, you find it. It's clean and organized plus the cleaning fee is included which makes your life easier. It worked really well for me, with a group of single people and a couple. We fell in love with the house and we will definitely come back when the days are warmer. [Sorry for the pictures that are not rotated, I guess Yelp doesn't have that feature, another review?]

We could not have found a better place. The owner, Lisa, and her husband Jon, are the nicest people ever. We didn't talk to Jon much, but Lisa is amazing, the kind of person you think, "I want to know her as a friend!" She's funny, gregarious, thoughtful, and truly a multi-talented person. You can book her to do Reiki or massage in your room, she's a CMT. She has so many interests and talents. She's also a vegetarian, so if you need vegetarian recommendations for the area, don't hesitate to ask. She makes you a breakfast of fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, croissants, jam, butter, and scones and leaves it on your patio. There is a kitchen in the cottage, with coffee maker, and she has Peet's coffee for you. She also includes thoughtful gestures, like milk and creamer, sugar, snacks, water, and a bottle of wine from their own vineyard. We opened the fridge to find brie and The Girl and the Fig fig jam, which went nicely with our wine. I liked it so much I went to the Girl and the Fig and bought more jam to take home. The cottage is a 1 bedroom, with a king bed, full jacuzzi bath and shower, pull out sofa, TV, DVD, cable, iPod docking station. I slept on the sofa, but knowing pullouts aren't comfortable I brought an aerobed and put it on top of the sofa, which worked great for me. You are next to a vineyard. A little one. So don't think you are stranded in the midst of a field, you aren't. There's grounds to walk, a bocci ball court, swimming pool, jacuzzi, tennis court, and you are 5 minutes driving distance from downtown Sonoma. We went out to lunch or dinner, and the other meal got fruit, tomatoes, cheese, bread, and meats and ate on the patio. We also drank copious amount of wine. It was divine. It's quiet. You may hear a rooster, the donkey next door braying, but that's about it. You can see all the stars at night. This is a perfect place for a honeymoon, girls' weekend, anniversary, proposal...anything! I can even see a wedding here, with the vines in the background, and the couple staying here for the honeymoon. Lisa's hospitality and the beauty of the area need no further accolades. Stay here. You'll like it.

For a while, it was looking like I either had to give up my first-born for a room in a safe neighborhood or end up in the Tenderloin. Fortunately, I found out about this place online and it ended up being a hidden gem. For a fair and affordable price, you can rent a clean and comfortable private room in the Haight/Cole Valley area. Ted, the landlord (who also lives on-site), was very accommodating to my move-in schedule. Street parking nearby is very hard to find but luckily, the house is within walking distance to several MUNI lines (N-OWL, 71, 33).
