Carrie and her family are amazing hosts! We needed a long-term place to stay while we sold our house in Oakland and initially booked Carrie's place for a month. We liked it so much that we asked Carrie if we could extend our stay by another 3 months until we officially move out of the Bay Area for a job. We have a 3 year old daughter who has become friends with Carrie's youngest son. It's so cute to watch them play and share toys. Carrie and Julian are very knowledgeable about the Bay Area and can give you local tips on restaurants and parks. The place itself is exactly what we needed for a long term stay. We appreciate that there's a washer/dryer, comfortable beds, a bathtub so that we can give our daughter baths, and our own outdoor patio. The outdoor space is much larger than anticipated, which is so nice to have during this COVID-19 pandemic. Carrie was also amenable to having our two cats stay with us, which was so kind. There's also plenty of street parking. I would recommend this place 100%.
