Suzanne is a wonderful host. Very easy to communicate with. Location is very optimal ---close to restaurants and public transportation (i.e. BART, AC Transit). Love the Art Deco style bathroom. Room was spacious and cozy. One thing to keep in mind --the room faces towards the freeway which can be quite noisy if you are a light sleeper, so bring ear plugs if needed. Otherwise if you want to spend a few days to get around easily to explore Oakland/Berkeley without needing a car, this place is it!
