I have stayed at Claudia's many times over many years. When traveling to Oakland Claudia's is always my first choice. This last stay was for 3 months and I was never disappointed about anything ever. And here's a tip for fellow travelers to Oakland. Claudia lives in the Lake Merritt area and not up in the hills. There were several power outages (power deliberately turned off by the electric/gas utility to reduce the risk of fire) and Claudia NEVER LOST POWER. One more reason to choose her Charming Craftsman.
