Kirsten and Geoff have been renting this house in Oakland for two years, and originally fell in love with the hardwood floors, unique cabinetry, and awesome location.

This basement apartment in the city feels more like a handcrafted cottage, neatly nestled in a hidden forest somewhere in the mountains.
