Pamela is an AWESOME person. Her apartment was exactly as she described it to be. It was in a really good location in Oakland. Checking in and checking out was easy. Pamela was really good with communication. She responded to messages quickly. It was easy to feel comfortable and at home in her apartment. My favorite part about staying with Pamela was hanging out with her on my last day there. She offered to drive me to see some really amazing and intellectually deep murals in Oakland. It was really nice getting to know her a little better and getting dinner at the Ethiopian restaurant before my flight :) I would definitely recommend staying with Pamela if you are in Oakland, CA.
