We were looking for something in The City, but cost and availability were signifigant hurdles. After a suggestion I widen my search to Oakland, I came across Adi's offering.
I have tried contacting others, only to learn that the room was "occupied." Adi was quick to get back to me, and was available during my awkward first time through the booking process.
Before Arrival, Adi stayed in contact with me in order to make sure that that we were okay on our trip and if we needed anything special at the store. This offer continued up until our last day.
During our stay, Adi was very helpful in explaining how thing operated, where we could store items and set boundaries for us. He also reassured us that the surrounding area was safe during the day.
Adi continued to ensure that our stay was comfortable, and checked in to see if we needed anything. The room itself is exactly as promised. Super comfy bed, plenty of lights and seats, TV with dvd and vcr, and the best surprise was the bluetooth speaker. WiFi was available, but we use Comcast at home and ended up using an available hotspot.
Plenty of kitchen equipment and anything else to prepare your own meals, including plenty of fridge and cabinet space. And lots of options for delivery. If you're ever in the mood for wonderful Indian takeout, try Masala Cuisine on International Blvd., but call ahead first.
Leaving was also hassle-free. Cleaned the room(which was unnecessary), loaded up the car, cleaned out our food, and locked the gate. Easy peasy.
We will definitely consider Adi for future visits. While we may venture more into the SF area as intended, it's Adi's home and hospitality that will be the standard we measure against. And if Oakland is our way into The City again, then Adi's our go-to guy.
