Poornima’s place Is a hidden treasure in Oakland. I had a last minute booking at 5pm on day of arrival, but Poornima was very accommodating. Brand New Home right off the interstate but up in the hills. I couldn't believe I was in oakland. Her home is gorgeous, clean, and rooms are huge. I stayed downstairs in private bedroom with balcony and own bathroom - did I say huge? The bed was NEW and mattress was so comfortable. The balcony door opens to private backyard and the night breeze was so therapeutic! I also got to park right in the front of the house so no running around looking for parking spot. I will definitely be requesting to stay here again in the future!
