What an absolute joy! Marie and Mark are wonderful--so thoughtful and welcoming. Location couldn't be better with walking access to eateries in the area and a 6 minute walk to the BART station. Marie did so many "little" things to make our stay that much better (i.e. providing us with BART cards so we wouldn't have to purchase, leaving travel books on the night stand with suggestions for exploring oakland and SF). Would definitely stay here again!
