This is a very cool, very unusual airbnb option. I'd do it again, without a doubt. You've got your own little bungalow-y room, with a good workspace, and nicely set up so you can make a cup of coffee or tea to get the day going. Great little garden outside, with the bathroom facilities across the open space. (Might be a bit chilly outside summer months, so take a long a sweatshirt or a robe.) Louise is the ideal urban airbnb host. Lots of good info on the locale, friendly, conversational, and fully ready to leave you be. The neighborhood has excellent cafés and places to work. And Oakland has come a long way since my last visit, 30 years earlier.
