Amy's place is great ! We didn't have the pleasure to meet her but she was nice, communicative and quick to respond! Her place is well-decorated, very clean and it has all the amenities you could need. You can easily fit up to 6 people (2 double beds, 1 sofa bed). Quick and close access to Bay Bridge to go to San Francisco and calm environment. There is also a Safeway to run some errands not far. We just thought the place was a bit dark, there wasn't really any natural light coming from outside as the windows are small and the place on the first floor. Also, the ceilings are not really high ! We are a tall family so it was a bit small for us but okay for 3 nights. The streets nearby the house are not super clean and there are some homeless people but we felt safe in spite of that. But we will come back anyway if we ever find ourselves again in Oakland !
