Best place hands I've ever stayed in Oakland. it was clean, very close to everything (restaurant, theater, grocery store) within walking distance and freeways.
Check- in was easy Camiels communication was bar none (compared to other hosts that took 2 days to respond simetimes).
It was clean, quaint and enough space that had all the amenities I needed.
There were only 2 cons (one of which the host had no control over). I parked my car literally 3 ft away in front of the house one night and there was a burglar sitting inside the vehicle trying to take my rental. I called the cops.and reported the incident but this is not uncommon in the Bay so it certainly didn't deter me. However, afterwards I felt slightly violated and thought about the beautiful space in the home and lack of privacy (no curtains on some windows in the living room).
Lastly, the 2nd bedroom by the kitchen was quiet cold and had no mechanism to get heat in spite of how high I would put the temperature so when my son and partner joined me on the last leg of this trip-I had to sleep in the living room.
Other than that, we really enjoyed my stay and will certainly return here if I'm ever in Oakland again.
Thanks again for hosting us in your beautiful home.
