Pamela is an AMAZING host and the location couldn’t be better! My 2-year old daughter and I stayed with her for a month while relocating from Seattle to the Bay Area. From the get-go, Pamela was a great resource and support in getting us settled in the area. Upon arrival, she made us a delicious vegetable stir-fry meal and within our room there were thoughtful toiletries including Toms children’s toothpaste and a natural colored bubble bath for my daughter. These kind gestures really made us feel welcomed. As our stay continued, there was a beautiful balance of Pamela being involved in our lives but respecting our autonomy.

Pamela’s HOME is cozy, creative and peaceful. It’s evident that Pamela has a green thumb with all the beautiful plants inside and outside of her home. We were free to use the KITCHEN to cook and had space to store our food. She even let us use her spices, oils, condiments, etc. The kitchen is decorated super cute in a green & pink flower vintage style. Our ROOM had great storage space- a dresser, desk, closet and a multi-purpose organizing unit. In addition there is a TV, DVD player and multiple outlets in the room. The BATHROOM was cheery and there was always hot water and solid water pressure.

LOCATION
One of the many perks about staying at Pamela’s is that is really walkable! Close to stores, restaurants, shops and parks. The area also offers great public transportation for exploring the surrounding areas. Finding parking was decent- I never parked more than 2 blocks away but on most days it was on the same block.

Pamela has a huge heart and is dedicated to children and the environment. I am grateful to say, she is our first new friend in Oakland. Without a doubt, I highly recommend staying at Peace and Beauty.
