Edward and Lucy were excellent hosts! It is a super nice neighborhood. Very safe and close to the Bart Station that takes you to SF in about 20 Minutes. The appartment was arranged very caring and cosy. It was equipped with everything you need. Edward left a lot of brouchures and travel guides. He also send us an email with a lot of things to do around Oakland and San Francsisco. We felt very welcome at Edwards house and Lucy is a very friendly dog! Hope to come back soon! Thanks a lot Edward!
