Pamela was an excellent host. She made me feel welcome all the time and tried her best to help me in any possible way. Pamela couldn't be at the apartment when I arrived, so she arranged for one of her friends to meet me there and she even left me a homemade banana bread (delicious btw). I stayed there for a week while I looked for a place of my own since I'm relocating to the Bay Area; Pamela even went with me to see a few apartments and showed me around the area. Pamela's house is always clean and nicely decorated. The guest-room is completely private which allows you to interact as little or as much as you want with Pamela when she's in the house. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. If you bring a car street parking is almost never a problem. Lake Merrit is within walking distance with restaurants, coffe shops and grocerys in the area.
