Jesse & Rima's place was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We came down for two nights to take a trip to the city. It's about a 25 minute drive into the city with light traffic & it's in a pretty decent part of Oakland. There was pretty much no outside noise at all. Jesse met us for check in around 6 even though we were uncertain of our arrival time all day, he was still there when we were. The room is the perfect size for two people and the private bathroom was perfect too. Jesse gave us permission to use an area in their fridge and to hang around in the living room and kitchen if we wanted even though the ad said we would need to request that before hand. We had no issues whatsoever and will definitely be returning if we need another air b&b for the city!!
