Is there a nice bed and breakfast inn in Rockridge or Elmwood?

It's not really a B&B sort of place, but there are a couple in the area:one is the Belrose B&B up in the Claremont neighborhood which borders Rockridge and Elmwood. The other is farther south in the hills near Piedmont--the Hills B&B. The Hills is more of a traditional B&B and I would recommend it if you don't need to be in walking distance of those neighborhoods. Hope that helps.

It's not in Rockridge or Elmwood, but there is a lovely B&B in the Piedmont Avenue area. It's in a gorgeous Arts-and-Crafts house on a quiet, leafy street just a few blocks from Piedmont Avenue. If you don't know Piedmont Avenue, it is a lively and sophisticated main street with excellent restaurants, a movie theater, coffee shops, a family-owend grocery store, book stores, gift shops, and every other type of store and amenity you can imagine -- just lovely for a stroll. The B&B is owned by a friendly couple, who make breakfast using eggs from their backyard chickens. My aunties, both in their 70s, stayed here a few years back and really enjoyed it.
