Susan and her family were the nicest people, so down-to-earth, and accommodating. Their house was incredibly large and awesomely decorated. There was a delicious breakfast left out for us every morning and Susan provided so many great tips for where to eat and go during our stay in Oakland and even beyond the time we were going to be with them (San Francisco tips, Berkeley tips, etc.). We would definitely stay with them again when we are back in town again.
