This was my first time in California so i truly didn't know what to expect . Oakland is a bit of a rough area in all honesty but where this cute lil home is located is a nice area but the minute you leave its rough again. The owner E answered any lil questions we had very promptly an even made sure we slept well our first night. Me and my boyfriend loveddd the outside seating area seeing all the birds, squirrels,and cats come out was nice. Over all i would definitely recommend staying hair.
