This was my second stay with Joan. It is the perfect place for a single traveler. The bedroom is large and comfortable, with a private bath. Joan is very personable. She takes the time to make sure that you have everything you need. The building is secure, and you can keep the bedroom window open at night! Lots of hot water and a wonderful shower. Joan's place exceeds expectations. I'm looking forward to another stay when I visit family in Oakland again.
