David’s place is amazing. The photos do not do it justice. It’s clean, has all the amenities you’ll need, has the world’s comfiest bed, and is conveniently located betwixt several neighborhoods you’ll want to explore. The house is a gem. A recently (I’m guessing) renovated adobe townhouse on a quiet street with a community art center across the road. It felt safe and friendly.
Most restaurants in Oakland are operating on weird hours right now so we struggled to find a dining experience on the Monday, but we eventually found a super cute spot called Friends & Family. Be sure to check it out.
