My communication with the host Zack was very smooth and he was very flexible working with us for the university booking which has been challenging for some hosts in the past. One of the best parts of this arrangement was the location which allowed our guest to be very independent by taking BART to downtown Berkeley for meetings at the university, walking to downtown Oakland for cafés and shopping, as well as picking up grocery items at Whole Foods down the block. This made it possible for us to not have to worry about making sure our guest had everything she needed during her business trip.
