Janina’s place was exactly what to expect, the pictures are not a lie and very accurate. You are located in a gated compound with a coded and lock and key door for the back house which I found very reassuring. I rented a car and even though there was no private parking, the main road had quite a few spaces and didn’t cause too much problems when looking for parking, I always found something directly outside or near by. The street felt safe with a few shops up the road and iHop a very short walking distance away. Janina was so quick to respond to everything I needed.. very understanding, very kind and very helpful. If I’m in Oakland again I know I have a reliable Air BnB in the area!
