Tongan House is a great place for international & domestic travelers. The place is just 0.5 miles from the freeway and walking distance (0.1 mile) from the bus stop. There is a departmental store at the corner of the street which is suitable for all daily purchases. In addition large grocery stores such as Safeway, Farmer Joe are located at a mile distance. The house is clean and comfortable. Ellen and Sam, the hosts make this place one of the best places to stay in the bay area. Tongan House is located in the centre of the Bay Area. Oakland airport is just 4 miles away and San Francisco Airport is easily accessible by taking the bart from Fruitvale Station. I would highly recommend this place for fellow travelers. The place welcomes everyone with warmth and Ellen (the host) always responds immediately to anything you might need.
