Joan was a great host! She stayed up expectedly late, to accommodate my delayed flight. Joan’s home is a hidden gem. Situated in a great location, there is a Whole Foods and Starbucks near by. We were a quick ride away from Downtown Oakland. The bus stop to the metro was 2 minutes away, although we opted to walk, which took us 12-15 minutes. The bedroom was very clean and there’s a beautiful shower set up. I felt incredibly comfortable! Thanks for a great stay.
