Nips is the warmest host I have ever met! She is communicative and welcoming from beginning to end, generous, kind and accommodating, always offering to feed me breakfast and meals whenever she can! The home is older but location is in a decent & peaceful neighborhood of Oakland, I feel safe during my stay for the week. Parking on the street was also easy. The room was comfortable, but noise do travel around a bit but all in all didn’t bother me much. Nips was always respectful of my privacy, made my stay even better. Thank you, Nips!
