[sponsored-ish / public service post]

Are you still looking for a place for you and some friends for the Birkie? A reader with a house to rent and a last-minute cancelation asked if I took advertisements and I said “I do now!”

The house is huge, sleeps up to 22 people, and located 10 minutes from Downtown Hayward out by Round Lake. You can book at AirBNB or VRBO, of course, or use the “contact us” link on their website to save on booking fees. If you are interested please let them know you found out about it on BirkieGuide.com!
