welcome to the attic!
billy and i live in an old cardboard box factory, in north oakland. with two dogs, two cats, two gerbils, and 1 turtle.
mostly we live downstairs, with the dogs, and the cats.
(downstairs: http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/215929)
but we also rent this attic space, which functions as a secret getaway / home office / workshop / art studio / guest space. the attic is also the home of the gerbils and the turtle.
the attic is a great space, with lots of light and air. there are three large skylights, and 5 half-height windows that face the oakland hills.
it's a private space with it's own private entrance. we do have books, clothes, tools, etc up there, and regularly pop up to grab things and/or feed the critters. But we won't be living up there with you. you'll have the space to yourself.
KiTCHEN: cool retro sink (which we plumbed and put in ourself), a mini fridge, a kettle, a hot two burner hot plate, and a bad-ass panini maker. toaster oven coming soon. as our guest, you also have full kitchen and garden privileges downstairs.

OFFiCE/WORKSPACE: big desk, with flatscreen widescreen monitor that you are welcome use for working and/or watching movies. WiFi, and wireless speakers. big worktable -- functions as a workbench or standing desk. small worktable, functions as a mini desk.
LAUNDRY: we have our own front-loading washing machine in our downstairs space that you are welcome to use. we usually air-dry our clothes on a clothesline or drying rack, but there are also shared coin-op dryers in the building that you can use.
BATHROOM: (important!)
You have two bathroom options:
1) our building has a big, clean, shared half bath (no shower) a short walk away (~60 feet). this bath is used by you and a couple folks who rent art studios in the building.
2) downstairs, we have a big, clean, private full bath, with a tub and a cool fish named olive. that bath room is a bit more of a trek. probably 300 feet, including a treacherous 40 feet OUTDOORS, thru an enclosed parking area / garden / courtyard / communal hangout space.
option (2) is great in the morning or at the end of the day, when you want to take a hot shower or a relaxing bath. option (1) is great in the middle of the night, when you really need to pee, and don't feel like walking that far.
LOCATiON: we are exactly on the border of berkeley, oakland and emeryville. 5 minute straight shot to I-80 (sf). 15 minute walk to bart (sf and beyond). 5 minute walk (3 blocks) to a local super-tasty bakery/coffee shop.
ALSO INCLUDED: intense love from abigail the turtle and yogurt drops you can feed to the gerbils.
