Thomas and his wife were extremely welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a great stay. The bed is very comfortable, the room is large with multiple tall windows and a ceiling fan. Thomas offered coffee, or tea and toast in the morning. I did not get to hand out long but it was the perfect place to stay in Oakland. The location is quiet, parking and entry are super easy. The home is both colorful and elegantly comfortable. I will return when I visit the Bay Area again for work.
