My partner and I really enjoyed our stay with Maria. We were scouting out apartments in the downtown and uptown Oakland area and her house is a very short drive (7minutes?) from where we needed to be, despite being tucked away on a quiet, suburban street. The room is tranquil and beautiful, and lets out onto an equally tranquil deck that feels like a hidden garden. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept on, and I meant to ask about the brand so I can get one in the future. Maura is chill and very knowledgeable about the Bay Area, so she had good intel about my apt hunt.
