Greg and Gail’s ADU exceeded our expectations. The listing is accurate, and doesn’t do the property justice! I almost hate to write this review because I don’t want this listing to be booked the next time we are in town! The ADU is conveniently located near restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, you name it. Everything is within walking distance. Greg and Gail are wonderful hosts! After spending three weeks in their unit, we feel like we have gained new friends. My boyfriend and I got engaged while there, and Gail and Greg joined us in celebrating with a bottle of champagne. Their thoughtfulness can also be felt in the unit with all of the amenities and personal touches. My fiancé and I definitely hope to return in the future!

This place is exactly as described with many nice touches. The hosts clearly want you to feel at home. I had a great stay.

Staying here was like my own high-end, relaxed treehouse. Designed with beauty and efficient functionality, you are immediately comfortable and settle into your private world for your stay. The open floor plan features an entire floor to ceiling wall of windows which slide open to a wooden deck. The view is devoid of houses and with the slider open you hear the neighboring birds calling out. It was the perfect sanctuary for me as I oversaw the last week of my house renovations – escaping chaos for private calm. The kitchen was stocked with high quality implements every cook loves and the range was a dream. The meandering path up to the ADU provided a vegetation exploration of fun trees, plants and veggies – eye candy for gardeners. And if you are lucky, you will occasionally bump into Greg, Gail and/or Chewey for a quick chat (and pet in Chewey’s case) – great way to start the day! It is a short walk to Montclair Village providing easy access to varied restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, essentials (groceries, banking, drug stores) and even spa services! Wonderful hiking along the ridge of the East Bay hills is fantastic through the park system. And San Francisco is ~25 minutes away if so inclined. This location is on my “keeper list” for visitors… or even a getaway when I need it again.

Beautiful property and wonderful people. Great location.

From top to bottom, everything about our stay at this property was great. From the big picture things like check in/check-out details to the small add-ons like a wine bottle and freshly ground coffee beans, our stay here was top notch. It is clear a lot of intention went into creating the guest house and the experiences of the guests. This property came with more than I have had in a similarly priced hotels/bnbs. The kitchen had plenty of equipment to appropriately cook home meals with as well as nice utensils and silver ware. Although, a few notes: if the oven is on, trying to light one of the gas burners causes all of them to try and light at the same time; and, the space is small, so cooking anything slightly smokey is likely to set the smoke alarm off (opening the doors, windows, and using the microwave fan helped). The living room's floor to ceiling sliding doors were nice enough but the mechanically operated curtains were an unexpected cherry on top. The bedroom's simplicity was perfect for the space -- a comfortable bed, sky lights, and plenty of outlets and endtable space. The space also has a medium-sized closet with a hamper, vacuum, extra-bedding for the pullout couch, and plenty of hangers and space to put your clothes. The bathroom was clean and updated; equipped with shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, three different types of towels including one for your face, and plenty of space to hang. The host were very responsive and accommodating.

Lovely and quiet ADU in Piedmont! we will hopefully return to stay!

Clean, well-stocked, comfortable space!

Beautiful! Everything you need is here. A great place to relax and unwind. Thank you!
